Shalin Liu Performance Center
Join Rockport Music for our 2025 Rockport Music Gala: Midsummer Celebration on Sunday, July 13th—an unforgettable evening featuring world-renowned violinist Pinchas Zukerman, the dynamic pianist Jan Lisiecki, and the Festival Chamber Orchestra, conducted by the brilliant Earl Lee.
This year’s fundraiser promises to be a night to remember! The evening begins with cocktails and a gourmet dinner under a beautifully appointed tent in the serene setting of Millbrook Meadow, followed by an awe-inspiring performance at the Shalin Liu Performance Center. Guests will be treated to two of Mozart’s masterpieces, his Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major and the beloved Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, “Elvira Madigan.”
We are deeply grateful for your support and look forward to celebrating the joy of music with you!
