On Sunday, May 6, the Calumet Chamber Musicians will present a Family Concert entitled “Something Old, Something New” at the Towle Community Theater on Sunday, May 6th. Live music—especially classical music—has become a rarity in our children's lives. Calumet Chamber Musicians’ family concerts are relaxed, entertaining, and educational programs that are well-planned and well-rehearsed, with repertoire carefully chosen to be accessible, fun, and interesting. Yet, these are real concerts of real Art music; CCM never condescends to young audiences by watering down their concert experience in any way.

This family concert looks at music through the generations. Why does this baroque piece by Telemann sound different from this modern work by Muczynski? How does this piece by Fauré tell a story? What do these dances by Brahms tell us about a people? What does this work by Norman Rockwell tell us about ourselves? Calumet Chamber Musicians are now in their sixth season of presenting “evocative, accessible, and high quality” The Times classical music concerts in the Calumet Region. This summer they will again present concerts in France, where last year’s performances were called “formidable” by members of composer Igor Stravinsky’s family.

Performance is Sunday, May 6 at 2:00pm. Tickets are only $10. Advance payment required. Tickets non-refundable. Please arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to curtain. If you arrive after curtain, you will be seated at the discretion of the House Manager. We do not hold curtain. Doors are locked at 15 minutes after curtain. Call 219-937-8780 for more information or to order tickets.
