Each of our four concerts is sponsored by an enlightened business in our area which understands the deep importance of the arts to the vibrancy of our community. We are very grateful to our 2011 Festival concert sponsors:
Salt Bay Chamberfest is an integral part of the diverse non-profit community in our midcoast Maine communities. Our partnership with the Damariscotta River Association and the Darrows Barn they manage on the Round Top campus is a long and fruitful one. The Lincoln Theater is co-presenter with us of the first-ever Family Fun with Classical Music event on Saturday, August 20, 2001. River Arts inspires us to consider the many connections between the musical and visual arts and will host a composers' masterclass on Friday, August 26. The DaPonte String Quartet shares our passion for chamber music, and their members teach strings to many promising young players in the area, creating future audiences. Skidompha Library provides space for the occasional meeting and is our "office away from home" with free Internet for our staff and many visiting musicians. The Maine Public Broadcasting Network airs our recorded concerts throughout the winter and features performance and conversation with visiting musicians and composers in August on their "Live at 11" program.
