Description

Concerts at the Point was founded in 1997 to enhance the cultural environment for residents of southeastern New England by presenting chamber music concerts performed by distinguished musicians and exceptional young vocal artists. The concerts are held in the Westport Point United Methodist Church, a small venue with extraordinary acoustics, an ideal site for the intimacy of chamber music. The 1999 Baldwin piano purchased after a gala fundraiser enhances the performance of the piano ensembles. From a modest, church-sponsored season of three concerts, Concerts at the Point now presents five outstanding chamber music concerts each year and has obtained a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization designation from the Internal Revenue Service. The roster of performers includes the Muir, Borromeo, Hawthorne, Lydian, and Jupiter String Quartets; the Triple Helix, Tempest, Gramercy, Claremont, Kitchen-Kim-Hodgkinson, and Boston piano trios; Virginia Eskin, piano; The Walden Chamber Players, Boston Chamber Music Society, Triton Horn Trio (violin, French horn, and piano), the Adaskin String Trio; Strata (clarinet, violin, and piano) and the renowned Apple Hill chamber players. The final concert each season features rising young stars of the operatic world from the Boston University Opera Institute.
