Chamber Music on Star Island
2025 Program
Chamber Music on Star 2025 will feature thoughtfully selected music programs performed in inspiring island venues. Over the weekend, you will enjoy three main concerts and have other opportunities to hear and play music, plus explore the island’s many activities. There is time for morning exercise, a birding walk, a game of tennis or a dip in the ocean, or simply relaxing during happy hour before dinner. We share the Island with groups like the Isles of Shoals Historic & Research Association (ISHRA) whose fascinating lectures are open to Chamber Music members. Quiet moments rocking on the porch and beautiful ocean sunsets complete this full and rewarding weekend. (For those who wish, your visit can be extended a day.)
Bring your instruments!
Beginners to experienced players, are invited to bring their instruments (or voices), and get together with other musicians in pickup chamber music groups during the weekend.
