Several free concerts for the community will be offered during the month of August and highlights include Jazz on the Water, on Sunday, August 15: two free concerts on the Camden Village Green and a children’s concert featuring Palaver Strings.

Beginning August 18 and running through the August 22, Bay Chamber commences its 5-day Screen Door Festival – themed a story of tenderness, a dynamic series of 20 concerts designed to challenge, intrigue, inspire and excite. Presented in partnership with the Camden Public Library, the festival will take place under a tent at the historic Amphitheater. Inspired by a year of reflection and resilience the selection of performances pays homage to tradition even as they embrace innovation, celebrating the joy of music-making with more than 40 artists including The Rolston String Quartet, Andrew Wolf Award Winner, Orion Weiss, The Westerlies and many more.

“This season promises to be one of the most sensational yet!” said Bay Chambers, in a news release. Visit www.baychamber.org for more information on their summer plans, including COVID-19 safety regulations, and stay tuned for the full announcement Tuesday, May 11.
