Stoughton Chamber Music Festival

The Stoughton Chamber Music Festival creates vital opportunities for brilliant early-career classical musicians, sharing expressive and engaging performances of diverse repertoire with Stoughton WI and the surrounding communities.As our season looms, every donation makes a difference!

MOON

August 11th at 7:30PM at the Stoughton Opera House

August 12th at 4:00PM at the Stoughton Opera House

Sitting in a half-moon, we present MOON, a one-hour length concert experience following the trajectory of the moon and featuring Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht reimagined to include the Clarinet amidst short works that evoke the night. The program begins and ends with a complimentary set of two original works by Micah Behr, beginning with the setting of the sun and ending with a sunrise.

SUN

August 20th at 3:00PM at the Chorus Public House

August 21st at 7:00PM at the Chorus Public House

With the ensemble sitting in a circle in the center of the room, we present SUN, a one-hour program following the path of the sun featuring Chris Rogersons Thirty-Thousand Days for clarinet quintet amidst a quick succession of short and bright works. Mirroring MOON, this program will begin and end with the complimentary set of two new works by Micah Behr, beginning with the rising of the sun and ending with a sunset.

SCMF has received funding from Dane Arts and the Wisconsin Arts Board (with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts).  SCMF also relies on the support and generosity of fans and sponsors, in addition to ticket sales and other public and private funding opportunities.

SCMF started with humble musician fees. Each year the festival aims to raise the pay, so as to properly compensate our phenomenal artists for their work in bringing increasingly fantastic art to Stoughton. As such, the majority of our funding goes towards paying each musician and collaborator. They are truly the foundation of these concerts. In addition to performance fees, funding also goes towards the commissioning of new compositions, venue rental, and marketing. Your financial contribution, large or small, will be a vital part of our success and help enable SCMF to create great art in Dane County.
