(Falls Village, CT) America's oldest continuing summer chamber music festival, Music Mountain continues its summer season with HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire” band Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks making their Music Mountain debut on Saturday, July 9^th (6:30PM) and the esteemed Cassatt String Quartet performing memorable Beethoven and Brahms selections on Sunday, July 10^th (3PM). The weekend’s artists are just a sampling of the 150 chamber, jazz and country musicians that will perform at Gordon Hall thru September 4^th. (full season click here)

Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks are renowned on the New York scene for their commitment to preserving and authentically presenting 1920s and ‘30s jazz and popular music. Since 1976, the band has played at such distinguished venues as The Rainbow Room, the Waldorf-Astoria, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They appear regularly at Club Cache at Sofia’s at the Edison Hotel, among other venues. Historical accuracy is also important to Martin Scorsese who regularly features the band on his award-winning TV show “Boardwalk Empire.”  Be sure to bring your dancing shoes for this special Saturday evening concert. The Music Mountain appearance of The Nighthawks is underwritten by Norman Fields

Acclaimed as one of America's outstanding ensembles, The Cassatt String Quartet will join forces with pianist Ursula Oppens to present an enthralling Sunday afternoon program that will include: Barber: String Quartet, Opus 11; Beethoven: String Quartet in C Sharp Minor, Opus 131; and Brahms: Quintet for Piano & Strings in F minor, Opus 34, surely one of the most popular works in the entire chamber music repertory.

The Manhattan based Cassatt String Quartet was founded in 1985 when they served as the inaugural participants in Julliard’s Young Artists Quartet Program and has found much success in the US and abroad, performing in such famed venues as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris and Maeda Hall in Tokyo. Grammy Award nominated Ursula Oppens has been lauded by The New York Times, New Yorker Magazine and the Chicago Tribune for her sterling musicianship. She recently toured with Mark Morris Dance Group for “Mozart Dances,” appearing in Toronto, New Zealand, and at the Kennedy Center.

Located in Falls Village, Connecticut, Music Mountain is located on Music Mountain Road, where a short scenic drive will bring music lovers to Gordon Hall with ample & free parking.
