 Two-time winner of ASCAP's Chamber Music America National Award for Adventurous Programming
"Diminutive yet wide ranging"
- The New York Times Mohawk Trail Concerts’ 39th consecutive season brings to its stage both internationally celebrated artists whose frequent appearances have endeared them as an integral part of the Mohawk Trail Concerts’ family and talented newcomers happy to be showcased to audiences famous for their warm and appreciative response. The summer concerts have twice received national recognition with the Award for Adventurous Programming from ASCAP in conjunction with Chamber Music America. The Summer Festival is held in a colonial New England church set in the beauty of the hills beside the Deerfield River Valley. Its remarkable ambience and acoustics create an ideal chamber music venue for performers and audience alike. During
the year Mohawk Trail Concerts serves the broader community with
concerts that assist local needs and celebrations and also its Arnold
Black School Music Enrichment Program brings live music to the local
elementary schools. |

Since 1969, when violinist/composer Arnold Black discovered the charm and the superb acoustics of the Federated Church in Charlemont, MA, Mohawk Trail Concerts has been bringing the best of music from many styles, periods, and places -- performed by both internationally acclaimed and local artists -- to the hills of Western Massachusetts. Although many of our programs are drawn from the traditional chamber music repertoire, there is also a generous sprinkling of lighter music, and our concerts are always informal and informative. Our musicians often talk about the music they're performing, and there are post-concert receptions so that the audience can meet the artists. |

If you are already a lover of chamber music, you'll
find that MTC brings you performances worthy of the great concert halls. The
excellence of our programs has not gone unheralded. MTC has twice won
the National ASCAP/Chamber Music America award for Adventurous
Programming, in 2000 and again in 2002.
