The 29th Annual Chesapeake Chamber Music (CCM) Festival will be held in Easton, MD, June 1 through June 15, 2014. The Festival will honor the past and look to the future in chamber music, featuring classic pieces as well as works by contemporary composers. This year’s Festival will showcase the CCM-commissioned work of Pulitzer Prize-Winning Composer John Harbison at St. Paul’s Church in Centreville, MD as part of the organization’s commitment to new music. This concert, “Bach and Harbison,” will be held on Sunday, June 8 at 4 p.m. and will feature Festival newcomer and internationally-known harpsichordist Andrew Appel, along with Festival favorites J.

In addition to performance locations in Easton and Centreville, the Festival will again hold a concert, “Saturday Serenades,” on Saturday, June 14 at 5:30 p.m. in St. Michaels, MD, highlighting the spirited works of Beethoven, Kodály, and Brahms.
