MARION — World-class musicians will grace the stage at this year’s Buzzards Bay Musicfest.
The free five-concert series will be held July 15-19 in the Fireman Performing Arts Center in Hoyt Hall on the Tabor Academy campus.
Before the concerts begin, there will be an open rehearsal Wednesday, July 15 at 2 p.m.
That evening, the full orchestra, led by Australian conductor Antony Walker, will perform works by Beethoven and Haydn, as well as a concerto by Grieg featuring piano virtuoso Cynthia Raim as soloist.
On Thursday, July 16, a chamber music concert will include a flute duo, a trio for oboe, bassoon and piano, a Mozart divertimento for winds and a Beethoven string quartet.
The Buzzards Bay Swing Band will take the stage Friday, July 17 with “Music from the Movies.”
The Saturday July 18 concert will be chamber ensembles performing works by Françaix, Dohnanyi and Franck.
The Sunday, July 19 afternoon concert will begin with a Beethoven overture and end with a Beethoven Symphony. There will also be a Mozart French horn concerto performed by the legendary horn soloist James Thatcher.
All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m., except the Sunday afternoon concert at 2:00 p.m.
There will be a free shuttle service for the Wednesday, Friday and Sunday concerts.
Parking will be available at the Benjamin D. Cushing Community Center at 465 Mill St. where a Tabor Academy van will transport concertgoers to and from the Fireman Performing Arts Center.
Shuttle service begins one hour before each concert and will loop continuously until the performance starts. After the concert, the shuttle will pick up passengers outside the venue and run until all concertgoers have been transported back to the Community Center.
Passengers who prefer to use the accessible entrance to the Fireman Performing Arts Center — which provides a same-level entrance to the auditorium, bypassing the main lobby stairs — should notify the driver when boarding.
