(July 7 – August 12, 2012) This annual six-week festival presents summer classical music concerts in the context of some of New Hampshire’s important historical buildings – including various meetinghouses in the region, which play host to the free Village Concert series. In addition to its primary output of chamber music, there are solo recitals and orchestral concerts, all of which feature an ever-present mix of canonic, 20th Century, and new classical works. While traditional stalwarts of the repertoire such as Bach, Mozart, and Mendelssohn are frequently performed, Monadnock places great focus on seminal modern composers such as Schoenberg, Messiaen, Alfred Schnittke, Toru Takemitsu, and George Crumb. Furthermore, the festival’s Lend an Ear! program brings small ensembles in an educational context to schools during the year. (DK)
