Music from Salem brings together musicians of international reputation each summer to prepare and perform chamber music in the peace and beauty of rural Washington County, New York.  From concert halls in the United States and Europe, the musicians of Music from Salem offer programs of an exciting diversity and scope usually found only in major cities.Rhonda Rider

Musicians living and working together at the Brown Farm in Salem take time to dissect both the intimate and highly dramatic aspects of chamber music performance. Exploring newly written works with commitment and masterpieces of the past with an air of discovery. Music from Salem presents concerts that inspire and challenge.

Children's Workshops and Open Rehearsals offer a rare opportunity to observe the process of shaping a performance. Essential to the spirit of Music from Salem is the belief that artist and audience complement one another, thereby enriching and enhancing the life of the entire community.

We invite you to visit the concert schedule page to view the concerts and workshops for the upcoming season.
