ROCKPORT — Bay Chamber Music School’s student musicians were recently welcomed back to Union Hall for the first time since January 2019. The music school held eight recitals over five days, featuring students in individual and ensemble performances.
“After such a long time, we’re very grateful to be able to come back together indoors to celebrate the hard work of our student musicians,” said Monica Kelly, executive director at Bay Chamber. “This is what our music school is all about – sharing joyful music in community with others.”

The week-long recital showcase featured 102 performances by musicians ages four and older. Musicians played for enthusiastic audiences of family and friends on violin, viola, cello, piano, guitar, voice and drums. Musical selections ranged from “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” to longer selections by composers from around the world, to original compositions by Bay Chamber students. The recitals also featured ensemble performances by Bay Chamber’s Allegro, Suzuki, and Fiddle Jam classes and eight chamber ensembles.
