Seldom Played Works by Celebrated Composers
The theme of our 84th season features works seldom played at Music Mountain. There are 17 chamber concerts on the 2013 schedule.
In our schedule, we have included a number in parentheses after each work in our Chamber Concert Series. It demonstrates how many times this work has been performed in concerts at Music Mountain since 1930.
