Since 1981, Rockport Music has been committed to one enduring purpose: enriching lives through great music. Located in the scenic seaport village of Rockport, Massachusetts, Rockport Music presents exceptional musical performances and events year round, including the acclaimed Rockport Chamber Music Festival, now celebrating its 29th season with 20 performances during June and July 2010. Rockport Music also presents classical, jazz, folk and world music – as well as opera and theater simulcasts and film series. Educational enrichment programs reach over 7,500 youth and adults annually and include school outreach programs, family concerts, lectures, open rehearsals, and master classes.

Rockport Music was founded in 1981 as the Rockport Chamber Music Festival by soprano Lila Deis and pianist/composer David Alpher (artistic directors from 1981-1994) and local businessman Paul Sylva. Under the artistic leadership of renowned pianist and MIT faculty member David Deveau since 1995, Rockport Music has grown steadily in stature and reputation and is now a nationally recognized organization. In July 2008, the Board of Trustees voted to adopt the name Rockport Music to represent the expanding organization. Rockport Music’s commitment to presenting the world’s finest music performed by internationally acclaimed musicians continues to be a defining characteristic. Its programs, noted for their musical breadth, depth, and range, draw near-capacity audiences throughout the year.
