The 2014 Music Festival pushes outward from classical chamber music to explore the indie-classical and post-genre worlds where classical art song meets the singer songwriter tradition and contemporary music draws form the pop music vernacular. Featured are celebrated pianist Jeffrey Kahane and his composer-pianist-songwriter son Gabriel Kahane, along with the splendid Linden String Quartet and the new music virtuosi of the yMusic sextet, in a week of concerts, discussions, salons and parties that break down the barriers between artist and audience and the boundaries between musical genres.
