On Wednesday, July 8, the Second Wednesday House Party at Bagaduce Music will feature celebrated chamber ensemble DownEast New Music.

DownEast New Music is an ensemble dedicated to bringing dynamic performances of chamber music by living composers to DownEast and MidCoast Maine. In this performance, Clare Monfredo and Conrad Winslow will play music for cello and piano showcasing music by composers of different generations and cultures.
