The Rochester Chamber Music Society
The Green Mountain Suzuki Institute is delighted to be an educational
component of the RCMS.
For 14 years, the RCMS has taken pride in showcasing some of the world's greatest music, performed by consummate artists, in concerts accessible to everyone and presented free of charge, with only a modest request for voluntary donations. Beginning with the artistic directors' musician friends and family members, RCMS' ever growing roster of artists encompasses performers from every region of the United States and from Canada, including internationally known soloists and chamber ensembles.
In addition to the concert series, the RCMS is actively engaged in educational activites in the community. This year, its many activities included scholarship support for private music instruction, free rental on musical instruments, and a scholarship for a graduating senior at Rochester High School. During the winter months, Susie Smolen, Education Committee Chair, organized a chamber music program for local students and adults, including jazz, vocal, and classical groups. In addition, it engaged the "Musical Petting Zoo", a Vermont Symphony Orchestra outreach group to perform at the Rochester School.
The RCMS will host a kick-off concert for the Suzuki Institute this year, on Sunday afternoon, July 6th at the Rochester School Auditorium at 4:00. Don't miss the pre-concert talk at 3:30 by Dr. Larry A. Hamberlin, well-know musicologist and faculty member at Middlebury College.
