2025 Benefit Concerts Program
St. Ann’s will be hosting three exciting Baroque and Classical music benefit concerts in the Summer of 2025. This summer’s program features popular masterpieces from Vivaldi, Mozart, Dall’Abaco, Geminiani, Monteverdi, and others.
Directed by Ian Watson, the music will be performed by an ensemble of visiting world-class musicians playing period instruments. All concerts will take place Sunday evenings at 5:00pm to 6:15pm in the St. Ann’s Stone Chapel in Kennebunkport, ME. Tickets for each concert are $45.
Proceeds from the 2025 Benefit Concerts will support the St. Ann’s “Preserving a Legacy” Capital Campaign to help to repair our historic buildings, protect against future weather events, and preserve this important legacy for future generations.
Please purchase tickets in advance as seating is limited and our concerts frequently sell out.
