Duxbury Music Festival

Thank you to everyone who attended one of our Duxbury Music Festival 2024 performance.
We look forward to next summer!

Stephen Deitz, Artistic Director

Duxbury Music Festival’s 2024 season blends dynamic works of classical music with the rhythms of jazz, the passion of tango, and the sounds of the Great American Songbook. A multi-genre chamber music series unlike any other in our region, presented in the heart of the Duxbury community.

Join us for a free community concert at the Duxbury Senior Center, followed by four unforgettable performances at South Shore Conservatory’s Duxbury campus, The Ellison Center for the Arts.
