South Shore Conservatory proudly presents the DUXBURY MUSIC FESTIVAL, a solo and chamber music program for piano, violin, cello, flute, bassoon and voice, unique to all of New England.
Founded with the knowledge that music enriches the human spirit and the belief that this enrichment endures in the lives of its participants, the Duxbury Music Festival is located in an idyllic seaside community, thirty-five miles south of Boston and twenty miles north of Cape Cod.
The Duxbury Music Festival is a 17-day intensive program for the study and performance of solo and chamber repertoire for piano, violin, cello, flute, bassoon and voice for undergraduate and post-graduate students and adult professionals. Festival Director, Stephen Deitz, has gathered to this historic and picturesque town a renowned faculty who offer both solo and chamber performances, as well as daily individual instruction and ensemble coaching, and a resident string quartet composed of members of the South Shore Conservatory String Faculty.
