As we celebrate the 12th annual Buzzards Bay Musicfest, an event which has grown each year in regional response and national reputation, it is a delight for me to see so many friends and supporters returning each season. Equally rewarding are the new young faces of those who are so enthusiastically attend our open rehearsal.
Our most generous Founding Board Members have continued to support us, and we welcome all the newer major contributors whose support is enabling us to increase the number of artists and expand the repertoire we can present. This year we have our largest orchestra to date( 37) and can include major works by Beethoven and Brahms.
On behalf of the artists, I wish to thank the wonderful host families whose warm welcome into their homes help create an atmosphere most conducive to joyful music making and camaraderie. We have all been made to feel at home in Marion through the efforts of our host venue, Tabor Academy as well as the Marion Art Center..
We welcome your comments and suggestions, and look forward to sharing these concerts with you.

Artistic Director, Buzzards Bay Musicfest
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to welcome you to the Twelfth annual Buzzards Bay Musicfest. The musicians, the volunteers of the Marion Art Center and the beautiful facilities of Tabor Academy have assured the success of this wonderful event for the community.
Please join me in welcoming the nationally and internationally recognized musicians who will participate in this event, and of course our nationally known Artistic Director Russell Patterson.
We are most grateful to the generous sponsors and volunteers who have made these performances possible. Without their hard work and dedication the musicfest would not be the success that it is today.

Chairman, Buzzards Bay Musicfest
