KINGSTON CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL - 6 CONCERT SERIES PACKAGE | JULY 23 - AUGUST 3, 2025

Kingston Chamber Music Festival situated amoung the beaches, the community, and URI's campus is the perfect place for memories, connections, and, of course, a bond with music. While ‘coast’ is often associated with a landform near the sea, it can also describe effortlessness and fluidity. The festival embodies both meanings of the word, as musicians come together, some from across oceans, to enjoy making music with one another at Kingston. This blends with the theme's reference to a musical ‘cadence.’ a full or partial resolution of harmony or melody. In the case of the festival, the resolution here is the ultimate connection musicians build with each other and the community through music.
