South Shore Conservatory (SSC) announces the twelfth season of the Duxbury Music Festival (DMF), to be held July 14 through July 28. The Festival Executive Committee invites the public to hear about plans for the popular community two-week festival and get involved by becoming a Festival volunteer.

The annual volunteer meeting, Monday, May 1, at 9 am, is at the home of Kathy Skillman. Volunteers will learn about DMF, the upcoming 12th summer season, and the many opportunities to get involved, in volunteer roles which range from heading up a committee, to preparing a meal for students and faculty, or serving as an usher at events. They will also be the first to hear about this year’s world-class performers and planned repertoire from Festival Director, Stephen Deitz.

Ticket subscriptions go on sale May 25 and individual tickets go on sale June 1. To RSVP and obtain the address for the volunteer meeting, contact DMF Festival Manager Karen Bellinger, at k.bellinger@sscmusic.org or 781-934-2731, ext.23.

About Duxbury Music Festival

Duxbury Music Festival (DMF), entering its 12th season, is a celebrated program for solo and chamber instrumental performance unique to all of New England. Founded with the knowledge that music enriches the human spirit and upon the belief that this enrichment endures, DMF is an intensive 17-day program of chamber music, bringing world-renowned pedagogues and performers and aspiring young artists together in one of New England's most beautiful bayside villages, Duxbury, thirty-five miles south of Boston and twenty miles north of Cape Cod. For nearly three weeks each summer, Duxbury is abuzz and alive with chamber music whether it be chamber coachings and student recitals or festival competitions and faculty concerts. For a little more than a fortnight chamber music abounds perfectly complementing this picturesque historic town's cultural diversity. Both Festival faculty and students perform in concerts in public and private venues, from the Duxbury Town Green and The Ellison Center for the Arts to beautiful seaside homes and venues. DMF has tremendous community support, involving over 200 volunteers and over 2500 patrons each season. DMF headquarters are located at South Shore Conservatory’s Duxbury campus at the Ellison Center for the Arts, 64 St. George Street, Duxbury, 781-934-2731.
