Chamber Music by the Sea

Chamber Music by the Sea Chamber Music by the Sea is the first-ever classical music festival in Berlin and Snow Hill, Marylan The only thing missing: great chamber music!

Chamber Music by the Sea is the first-ever classical music festival in Berlin and Snow Hill, Maryland. This annual summer chamber music festival offers joyful, celebratory programs performed by world-class musicians in a gorgeous corner of the country. Artistic Director Elena Urioste has been visiting the Assateague Island National Seashore regularly for the past 14 years and has loved everything

about the place: the landscape, the surrounding towns, and warmth of the people. In 2016, Chamber Music in Berlin premiered with one public concert, one house concert, and a masterclass for young local violinists; this year, the festival expands in length, reach, and number of musicians. We are grateful to make Maryland's Eastern Shore our home, and can't wait to keep bringing classical music of the highest caliber to the area!

The musicians of have always loved cropping up around … take this throwback from our 2019 festival! (Innocent bystanders in town that day might recall an impromptu — and much remarked-upon — dance party in the parking lot while we waited for our table… 🕺🏻)

It has been a profound gift and pleasure to collaborate musically with after so many years of dreaming and scheming! Daniel is a fabulous composer from the area who has spread SO much joy, music, and opportunity to listeners of all ages and stages, and we feel so lucky to have been able to commission a short work of his for this year’s festival. His ‘Prélude to Peace’ for string quartet received its world premiere at the art gallery on Tuesday and its Berlin premiere on Wednesday at . Everyone in attendance both nights fell in love with its wistful harmonies, lilting rhythms, and the message that although we may need to navigate some dark times in the short term, we remain optimistic that peace is imminent.

Thank you, Daniel! 🩵🙏🏽

Wednesday was a banner day at the Berlin Public Library! 📚 We started off the morning with a PACKED family concert (featuring many tiny dancers and an epic group composition/improvisation), continued on with the most gorgeous community play-along of Ashoken’s Farewell and the first movement of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, and then the Library graciously let the festival musicians keep plugging away at our Golijov for Friday night’s performance at All Hallows Episcopal Church in Snow Hill. We love this town and we love our Library! 🥰🥰🥰
