Telluride Chamber Music Fest: A Classic for 41 Years

03 Aug Telluride Chamber Music Fest: A Classic for 41 Years

The 41st Annual Chamber Music Festival offers something for everyone, from the most demanding music sophisticate to the fun-seeking neophyte. The event promises to bring two memorable weekends of top-quality music to our historic mining town, while redefining what chamber music is all about, i.e. not music created by dead white men for blue-hairs only.

The Telluride Chamber Music Festival kicks off its 2014 Season with the “Concert in the Park” on Thursday, August 7, in Town Park. Bring your picnic dinner and enjoy the music which starts at 6:00 pm.

Friday, August 8 features music of Brahms, Dohnanyi and Borodin.

The Sunday matinee, August 10, music of Dvorak, Shostakovich and Mozart.

Thursday, August 14, Metropolitan Opera Tenor, Allan Glassman will be featured.

Sunday, August 17 the Festival ends with Brahms, London and Franck.

All evening concerts begin at 7:30 pm and the matinee starts at 2:30 pm.

Tickets, $25 are available at  www.telluridechambermusic.org, also at the Telluride Music Store or at the door prior to each concert.
