A lookback at one of the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival’s Quartet Conversations held at Phoenix Books Burlington! 🎻

During July, we were happy to host the GMCMF and the incredibly skilled musicians and musicologists apart of the program. During the Quartet Conversations, we heard from expert musicologists and professors as they lectured on music history and theory, bolstered by the support of a string quartet apart of the Music Festival. 🎶

Hearing and seeing examples brought to life the fascinating talks, and audiences were able to watch a true conversation. Keep an eye out next year for the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival and their events at Phoenix Books! Phoenix Books is proud to support the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival. 🌟🎼⛰️
