Bay Chamber Concerts and Music School is hosting an open house and faculty recital in Rockport Village on Sunday, May 4. The Music School will be open from 1 to 2:30 p.m. for tours of the studios, to meet the faculty, and to experience mini-lessons on a wide variety of instruments.

At 3 p.m., the community is invited to the faculty recital in the beautifully restored Union Hall, just down the block from the Music School, on Central Street in Rockport. The program features the Music School’s instructors, all of whom have important careers as professional performers. Strings, piano, voice and ukulele are some of the instruments audience will hear in a versatile program of classical music and original compositions by the faculty of the school.

The recital is a fundraiser for the scholarship fund at the Bay Chamber Music School. Every year more than $50,000 is awarded in financial aid to aspiring students, with over 40 percent on those enrolled receiving support.

Free will donations from the audience will be matched by a generous trustee of the music school.

The Bay Chamber Music School, open house location, is at 18 Central Street and the Union Hall (recital location), at 22 Central Street in Rockport.
