The Kingston Chamber Music Festival will present an opening concert on July 24th to celebrate the United States Semiquincentennial by tracing our nation’s journey from the chamber music world of 1776 to today’s diverse musical landscape. Through Boccherini, Mozart, Dvořák and Jessie Montgomery, we celebrate America’s founding, honor the diverse voices that shaped its cultural identity, and inspire Rhode Islanders with a vision of creativity, inclusion, and innovation for the future.
