Get to know Music from Salem, starting with this free program…
Music From Salem is Lila Brown’s vision: bring world-class chamber music to a rural setting; allow the musicians to explore their surroundings and the audience to get up close and experience the music viscerally. Concerts are usually held at Hubbard Hall, in the village of
Cambridge, ten miles south of Salem. During the summer season, anyone
may attend free open rehearsals at various area locations, where
musicians work on the program for the weekend and then open the floor
to questions concerning how chamber players signal through eye contact
or how they resolve differences over things like tempi and dynamics. There are also
free workshops for children at various area locations, enabling
children to see and hear the instruments at close range and learn how
music is composed and performed. Now that’s getting pretty close! And for kids there is an introduction to music-making and listening featuring repertoire from upcoming programs targeted at ages 6-12. It’s Free! And the next one is Thursday July 9, 10 am at the Bancroft Public Library, at the traffic light in Salem, NY.
