A Message from the
Artistic Director
of the Mason Chamber Music Festival
It’s my privilege to welcome you to the 7th annual Mason Chamber Music Festival. The MCMF Committee and I have two wonderful public concerts planned for the 2023 Festival weekend. The Artisan Quartet returns as Quartet in Residence and welcomes their extraordinary guest artists to perform a variety of music for strings and oboe at the Saturday Odeon Gala. The free performance on the Sunday Sandstone Series at the United Methodist Church will feature the Artisan Piano Trio performing music of Beethoven, Dvorak, and the Argentinian Tango composer Astor Piazzolla.
While we look forward to the opportunity to enjoy great music together at the United Methodist Church and the Odeon Theater, we are even more excited about the return of our Concert for Mason’s young people at their school after a three-year absence. We are also delighted to see the restoration progress of one of our favorite Festival concert venues, the Mason County courthouse. The first public concert ever presented at the Mason Chamber Music Festival happened exactly seven years ago this weekend in that grand old building. We miss the wonderful sense of history, the intimate atmosphere, and the beautiful courtroom acoustics. Our concerts at the school and the courthouse have been an essential gift to Mason citizens of all ages. We are delighted to resume both!
Sit back and relax this weekend to the sweet classical sounds of the Artisan Quartet, Artisan Piano Trio, and our incredible guest Artists Ian Davidson, Mariama Alcantara, and Toby. Blumenthal as the Mason Chamber Music Festival and the Odeon Preservation Association kicks off the Wildflower season in Central Texas.
Cheers, Bruce Williams, artistic director.
