Weekend of Chamber Music’s 31st Season

SULLIVAN COUNTY — 2024 brings a summer of reckoning with, indulging in, and celebrating our planet, its beauty and fragility, and our fraught relationship to it. We’ll share in music that conjures a sense of place, of environment, and of the mystery and majesty of the natural world. Featuring works by John Luther Adams, in whose gorgeous soundscapes nature becomes audible (our title for the summer is a pun on his orchestral masterwork, Become Ocean), as well as music of Carter; Debussy; Faure; Mozart; Schumann; the premiere of Andrew Waggoner’s love letter to New Orleans and coastal Lousiana, Lovely, Lost…; and Trevor Weston’s celebration of land, legacy and culture, Juba. All this, and an improvised score to the beloved classic Nanook of the North. Come to listen, to feel, to be absorbed into the great whole.

As always, we’ll deepen the experience through pre-concert talks, open workshops, and discussions with the guest composer, during which audience members can both observe festival artists at work and ask questions in real-time. For more info on the artists, the music, tickets, and the festival itself, visit the WCM website at wcmconcerts.org.
