The three final concerts in the chamber music festival feature music by Debussy, Schumann and Mozart, plus a hard-core rock jam by contemporary Italian composer Giovanni Sollima.
The Methow Valley Chamber Music Festival concludes this week with three Centerstage concerts at the festival’s new venue, the Twisp Terrace Lodge.
The Centerstage concerts will offer a combination of familiar chamber works and exciting new music.
Concerts are Thursday, Friday and Saturday (June 23, 24 and 25). Grounds open at 5 p.m., with a pre-concert lecture and recital at 6:30 p.m. and the Centerstage concert at 7:30 p.m. The traditional afterglow party, where audience members can meet the musicians, will follow each concert.
The festival is offering an “Alla Natura” option, where people can rent individual high-fidelity headphones and enjoy an immersive concert experience from the meadow outside the concert hall. Outdoor concertgoers will be able to watch a live feed of the performance on an outdoor screen. The headsets will also be available to indoor audience members who want additional amplification.
Before evening concerts, there are free, open rehearsals each concert morning.
Twisp Terrace Lodge will offer a selection of sandwiches, cheeses and charcuterie for pre-order. Picnics must be ordered in advance and people cannot bring their own food or beverages. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at each concert.
Indoor tickets are $40 and outdoor (Alla Natura) tickets are $25. For information about the program and to purchase tickets and order a picnic or wine, go to methowmusicfestival.org.
