2012 Season Preview

	At the Sherman Library & Gardens, each performance is preceded by live brass music al fresco while concert-goers enjoy strolling through the gardens.

The Festival’s 32nd annual season will return to the traditional format that has entertained our patrons through the decades: an opening instrumental concerto concert, a keyboard recital, two chamber concerts, and the Festival Finale for soloists, chorus and orchestra.

Please save the dates of June 17–24, 2012 and plan to join us for an exciting week of inspiring music, presented in local venues and featuring a wide variety of orchestral, instrumental and vocal works.
