'Mainely' Chamber Music - Bartók Divertimento for Strings

Welcome to our 'Mainely' Chamber Music Opener!  This week's chamber music concert features Bartok's Divertimento for String Orchestra, plus works by Schubert, Beach, and Brahms.

Composed during a brief peaceful period approaching the fraught final years of his life, Bartók’s Divertimento for String Orchestra is a genre-defying work which infuses the form of a Baroque concerto grosso with Modernist elements. Polyrhythm and folk elements—hallmarks of Bartók’s works—invigorate a traditional compositional form.

The address of our concert hall known as the Forest Studio is 42 Melody Lane (off old track road) in Hancock, ME 04640. Concerts start at 5:00 PM and last approximately 2 hours and include an intermission. Doors open at 4:30 PM.

NOTE: Single tickets get assigned the best seats available at the time of purchase. We have a small hall and thus, do not have a seating chart that you can use to select your seating location. But we will take good care of you! However, if you and your friends are buying tickets separately but wish to seat next to each other please email us at info@monteuxmusic.org and we will do our best to accommodate you.

For more details visit monteuxmusic.org or email Stan Renard, Executive Director at info@monteuxmusic.org

Wish to enjoy priority reserved seating and a beautiful biography book of the musicians in the orchestra, consider subscribing to our season concert instead.

We look forward to seeing you at our concerts!
