About Us
Bedford Chamber Concerts has for the past 20 years presented great music of the baroque, classical and romantic eras, spiced occasionally with music of the twentieth century or new music composed by our Music Director, Anthony Newman.
As in the past, our concerts will offer a wide range of musical experiences. We have adjusted the number of musicians and have put in place additional protections for the health of our audience and musicians.
The May concert features works by Johannes Brahms and including the Violin Sonata No. 3 in D-Minor, Op. 108 and Camille Saint-Saens' Piano Trio No. 1 in F Op. 18 played by our music director Anthony Newman on piano and Bedford Chamber ensemble players Renee Jolles on violin and Alexis Gerlach on cello.
For the health and safety of all, proof of vaccination is required for our concerts.
We look forward to seeing you!
