Dear Music Lover, WE NEED YOU!
Since 1970 the Martha's Vineyard Chamber Music Society has brought outstanding live classical music to our shores and, as the ONLY classical music organization on the Island, the Martha's Vineyard Chamber Music Society enjoys a UNIQUE position
in the community.
From the Summer Festival in July/August, to our spring and fall concerts, our 48 YEARS OF PERFORMANCES afford us the
opportunity to make classical music a truly integral part of Island life.
In 2018:
in the community.
From the Summer Festival in July/August, to our spring and fall concerts, our 48 YEARS OF PERFORMANCES afford us the
opportunity to make classical music a truly integral part of Island life.
In 2018:
- We continued this music tradition with 10 summer concerts and 2 off-season concerts featuring world-class musicians.
- We hosted our first Musical Gala, "BRIO BLISS BOFFO-Celebrating Music Through Song" with Met Opera Singers from
Wendy Taucher's Opera at Featherstone and local talent. - We hired a new Executive Director, Louisa Gould, who brings a financial, music and non-profit background who is helping
prepare for the 50th anniversary and beyond.
- We lend 60 free instruments to elementary students in support of the exceptional public school strings program that serves
160-180 students per year. - We award partial scholarships to reduce the cost of private classical instrument instruction for 15-20 Island students.
- We support at the collegiate level with an annual scholarship to a MVRHS student to pursue music education.
This year's recipient is Samantha Cassidy. - We sponsor an Artist in Residence program in the Spring and Fall. The world-renowned Quartet San Francisco provides private lessons, master classes, presentations to and with students, and performances for students, faculty, and parents.
- Retooling to increase audience attendance and visibility in the community and beyond.
- Increasing our reach with students through continuing residencies, supporting additional private instruction,
and collaborating with other youth music initiatives/providers.
