The eleventh
biennial Seal Bay Festival of American Chamber Music
will be in June 9-21, 2013. |
| The festival’s goal is to make American
chamber music a living experience for concert audiences, artists
and school children in a geographical and cultural setting
(the year-round population of coastal Maine) otherwise little
served by exposure to contemporary music. All repertoire is
prepared rigorously in collaboration between composers and
per-formers in an intense but idyllic setting during the first
week of the festival, and the same repertoire is performed
(and recorded) at every concert. Further, every venue is designed
to make the public’s encounter with composers and performers
as relaxed and personal as possible, while maintaining the
highest standards of excellence in performance. |
