South Shore Conservatory’s Duxbury Music Festival (DMF) presents its tenth anniversary season, with exciting DMF faculty and student performances, and family-friendly events, from July 17 through July 31.
Summer 2015 features performances by DMF’s celebrated founding educators/musicians, renowned pianist Oxana Yablonskaya and renowned conductor/cellist Dmitry Yablonsky. These two magnificent musicians waited more than two years to obtain a visa permitting them to emigrate from the former Soviet Union to the United States in 1977. Their success in obtaining visas was due, in part, to a petition organized by American composers, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. It is fitting that the first performance of the DMF 2015 season is the music of Sondheim and Bernstein.
Duxbury Music Festival is a celebrated program for solo and chamber instrumental performance, unique to all of New England. Founded on the knowledge that music enriches the human spirit, and upon the belief that this enrichment endures, this intensive 17-day program of chamber music, brings together world-renowned pedagogues and performers and aspiring young artists in the beautiful bayside village of Duxbury. For nearly three weeks each summer, Duxbury comes alive with chamber music, student recitals, festival competitions, family events and faculty concerts. In keeping with SSC’s inclusive mission to provide access to quality education in the arts for all, DMF presents programs for all segments of the population to enjoy.
Additionally, DMF has tremendous community support, involving over 200 volunteers and over 2500 patrons each season.
This tenth anniversary season, which will feature the chamber works of Russian and American composers, including Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, Kapustin, Bernstein and Adams, promises to be a season of renewal and glorious music and music-making. The founding faculty perform in two concerts and each give a master class. Festival Artistic Director Stephen Deitz has invited the 2015 faculty of internationally-acclaimed musicians to perform in five faculty concerts. Faculty include pianists Jonathan Bass, Jeffrey Cohen, Stephen Deitz, Regina Yung and Andrew Chen; violinists Lucie Robert and Christophe Poiget; violist Michael Strauss; and cellist Amir Eldan.
DMF is a program of South Shore Conservatory. DMF’s office is located at South Shore Conservatory’s Duxbury campus at the Ellison Center for the Arts, 64 St. George Street, Duxbury, 781-934-2731. For more information, follow Duxbury Music Festival on Facebook or visit www.duxburymusicfestival.org.
