Who are we?
We’re the people who love the Rockport Chamber Music Festival. Built on volunteerism, the Friends number over 250 members and volunteers. We’re committed to promoting and supporting the Festival’s vital role for music lovers in Rockport and beyond.

What do we do?
The Friends support the Festival by providing warm and welcome hospitality for the annual June concerts. This is our major undertaking. We also participate in off season concerts and other activities throughout the year. In addition, we support annual concerts by assisting with fund raising. Events in which we take part include the following:

Rockport Chamber Music Festival in June. The June Festival includes 16 concerts featuring world-renowned musicians and is currently held in the Rockport Art Association. Free family concerts augment this musical offering. Off season concerts complement the summer performances.

Cottages & Castles. This fundraising event provides a peek inside some of Rockport’s most charming homes.

A Taste of Excellence & The Last Hurrah
An elegant dinner and auction provide another opportunity to benefit the Festival..

Motif #1 Day, Harvest Festival, and Christmas in Rockport. These are times to participate with community groups to enjoy traditional hometown gatherings.
