2025 Summer Festival
“Welcome to PCMF's 32nd summer of bringing great chamber music to Maine! This year, we are highlighting the magical communal moments that chamber music can provide. When you have a small group of performers, making beautiful music in a small space for an intimate audience, we feel profoundly moved and genuinely connected. When those performers are extraordinary world-class artists, that magic is amplified into truly magnificent, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We hope you'll join us!"
—Melissa Reardon, Artistic Director
