Ashmont Hill Chamber Music
Ashmont Hill Chamber Music is a community-based organization founded in 1985 to provide an accessible and affordable concert series for the residents of Dorchester and its surrounding communities, to create new audiences for chamber music, and to strengthen the sense of community among the audience, volunteers, and musicians who come together at each concert.
Ashmont Hill Chamber Music seeks to:
- Present artists of the highest caliber in a series of chamber music concerts in Dorchester.
- Provide an opportunity for established and emerging artists to perform artistically challenging repertoire for an attentive audience in a beautiful and intimate setting.
- Develop new audiences for chamber music through imaginative efforts to reach out to the cross section of people that live in our community of Dorchester and beyond.
- Educate the audience.
- Innovate programming.
- Create a small artistic community where musicians, graphic designers, photographers, marketing people, development people, funders, friends, neighbors and audience members learn from each other through working together and through their commitment to creating concerts.
- Use the series of programs in Dorchester as a base of fully produced concerts that can be performed in venues throughout New England and beyond.
