SSC's Duxbury Music Festival's Celebratory Opening Concert Set for 7/19

The tenth anniversary season of South Shore Conservatory's (SSC) Duxbury Music Festival (DMF) concert series begins with an Opening Concert, featuring repertoire programmed by Festival Director Stephen Deitz, on Sunday, July 19, 6:30 pm. The concert's outdoor venue overlooks Duxbury's Back River and Powder Point Bridge, on the tented lawn at the home of Diane and Sherm Hoyt, providing incomparable views and backdrop for the performance.

The Opening Concert is the first of the four faculty concerts of its tenth summer season. To mark the momentous occasion of the first decade as one of the premier chamber music festivals in New England, the Festival's founding faculty, Oxana Yablonskaya and Dmitry Yablonsky, as well as other 2015 DMF faculty members, will join Artistic Director Stephen Deitz in the performance of works by American composers, John Adams and Steve Reich, and by the Russian composer, Dmitry Shostakovich. Vivaldi's Four Seasons, also on the program, will be performed with featured violinist, Caroline Cox, 2014 DMF Concerto Competition winner.

A post-concert reception of wine and light hors d'oeuvres offers guests a cordial opportunity to visit with the DMF faculty and students. The Duxbury Music Festival Opening Concert is generously sponsored by Diane and Sherm Hoyt.

With limited parking available, guests are asked to park at South Shore Conservatory, at the Ellison Center for the Arts, 64 St. George Street, Duxbury.
