Both plucked string instruments, this program explores the unique sound worlds of the harp and the guitar. These sound worlds are often associated with the ancient, the mythical and the folkloric. Original compositions by the performers play off of these elements and bring the audience something new and never heard before.

Our festival theme is “As the Day Turns to Night.” Over the duration of the festival, each concert will progressively show the transition from sunrise to sunset and night, through one or more works. With great pieces in the repertoire that are related to the day or night, I thought this an interesting and fun way to bring classical repertoire to you.
The musicians will also perform works of Robert and Clara Schumann, as well as of Johannes Brahms. The friendship among the three is often characterized as a bit of a love triangle, one that is legendary in classical music.
We cannot exist as a festival without your consistent presence and support. Thank you for coming once again this July to hear powerful, passionate, and thought-provoking chamber music.
See you then – Philip Hansen, Artistic Director and Festival Co-Found
