ChamberFest

The Spring Green General Store is proud to present ChamberFest, a classical chamber music festival in the heart of the River Valley community. For its second season, ChamberFest will celebrate the Americana and creative history of the Spring Green General Store with "For You and Me: An Exploration of the American String Quartet." This hour-long chamber music concert will be preceded by a Children’s Concert featuring Llama Glamarama, a vibrant rhyming story about celebrating our differences.  

ChamberFest will take place on Saturday, August 5th at the Spring Green General Store, 137 S Albany St. 

• Saturday, August 5th at 11 AM: Llama Glamarama in Concert.  Enjoy a reading of Simon James Green's Llama Glamarama with a live string trio score featuring works by Scott Joplin, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and more! This fun and inclusive concert will invite music lovers of all ages to learn more about the instruments, ask questions about the music and featured composers, and enjoy the art of storytelling with a live soundtrack.

• Saturday, August 5th at 12 PM: For You and Me: An Exploration of the American String Quartet. Beginning and ending with excerpts from Antonín Dvořák's beloved “American” String Quartet, this hour-long concert will guide the audience through the evolution of the string quartet sound in the American musical tradition. Along with the Dvořák, For You and Me will feature a variety of string quartets by American composers, including Wynton Marsalis, Philip Glass, and Caroline Shaw.
