Midsummer’s Music Festival presents the next three programs in its 2016 season: Flair and Passion; From Light to Serious; and Romantic Connections. In accordance with a Midsummer’s mission of educating audiences about the wide range of chamber music, the concerts feature works by such familiar composers as Beethoven and Shubert, as well as some lesser-known composers.
