Rockport Chamber Music Festival endeavors to enrich the concert-going experience of its audience, with lectures and other educational programs throughout the year, with special emphasis on Twentieth and 21st Century music. Having begun in the primary school, RCMF develops and presents educational programs across the grade levels in schools on Cape Ann. Master classes and coachings allow pre-professional and amateur players to benefit from superb teachers who perform at the Festival.
