The Portland Chamber Music Festival will return with in-person performances in August, offering a distilled version of the festival that will include a “secret” program of music designed to encourage people to listen with open minds and open ears.

The festival has considered performing a concert without telling the audience what it would be hearing ahead of time, and decided this was the year to embrace the unknown, said Melissa Reardon, the festival’s artistic director.
The process of choosing artists for Noon Music in May begins with one thought: variety.
Although most of the artists perform classical music, in recent years programming has been peppered with some unusual acts â a jazz harpist, a solo Egyptian drummer and a virtuoso Ugandan musician.
For the second concert in this yearâs noontime series, organist Peter Sykes returns to Stowe on Wednesday, May 12, at Stowe Community Church. He was earlier featured in a series of concerts to celebrate the renovation and re-installation of the W.B.D. Simmons organ at the church in September 2002.
Sykes is one of the most distinguished and versatile keyboard artists performing today. His playing has variously been called âcompelling and moving,â âmagnificent and revelatory,â and âbold, imaginative, and amazingly accurate.â
