The New Hampshire Music Festival will present the first of two full-orchestra concerts on July 8 at Kingswood Regional Performing Arts Center in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Festival Music Director Paul Polivnik will lead Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, Peter Maxwell Davies’s An Orkney Wedding, With Sunrise, and Bruch’s Violin Concerto in G with soloist Yulia Milshtein, the orchestra’s concertmaster. A second concert by the Festival Orchestra is set for August 5, and chamber music concerts on July 15 and 29 will take place at the Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro. The festival has added a partnership this summer with Virginia-based Heifetz International Music Institute that provides Grafton County primary school students with classroom performances, master classes, and workshops, as well as creating opportunities for the young musicians to perform with NHMF’s orchestra. The festival was founded in 1952 as a chamber orchestra performing at Melody Island in Lake Winnipesaukee. For the past 20 years, the festival has been headquartered at Plymouth State University. Dan Perkins is principal guest conductor and director of choral activities, and Deb Kosits is executive director. For more information, visit www.nhmf.org.
