Bay Chamber Concerts

Bay Chamber Concerts has a special bond with the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Both institutions were founded with support from the generous Mary Louise Curtis Bok Zimbalist. For many years, Curtis students summered on the shores of Rockport harbor. All of the directors of the Curtis Institute since Efrem Zimbalist have performed for Bay Chamber Concerts.
