Project snapshot

Rockaway Chamber Music’s Season Three will bring four dynamic chamber music concerts to the community in summer 2025, blending innovative compositions with immersive performance settings. Two concerts will feature newly commissioned works performed beachside and beneath the A train tracks, integrating music with Rockaway’s natural and urban landscapes. A special collaboration with local nonprofit RISE’s “Shore Corps” will allow high school students to perform alongside professional musicians in a unique meditative piece. Additionally, two traditional chamber music concerts at Arverne Cinema will introduce new instrumental repertoire to the community. By offering accessible, engaging performances and fostering local youth participation, this project enriches Rockaway’s cultural landscape and strengthens community ties through music.
