Harald Saeverud Music Program
ABOUT
HSMP believes that classical music enriches the lives of all who experience it, whether by playing or listening. The Harald Saeverud Chamber Music Program was founded in 2004 but in 2007 shifted its focus to establish a community orchestra -- the Passamaquoddy Bay Symphony Orchestra. Now, we are returning to our roots to once again offer chamber music concerts presented by professional Maine, national, and international musicians. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for all people in Maine, whether residents or visitors, to experience inspiring chamber music, to provide an opportunity for musicians to perform, and to premiere new chamber works..
