Episode 124: Winchendon Music Festival

Colin Davin, guitarist at the 2024 season's festival

The Winchendon Music Festival is a non-profit concert series held in Winchendon, Massachusetts. The Festival showcases performances by international artists from a variety of genres including classical, folk, jazz, historical performance, and world music.

Concerts are free to the public, thanks to support from several local cultural councils, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Robinson Broadhurst Foundation, the Winchendon History & Cultural Center, and the First Congregational Church of Winchendon.

The Winchendon Music Festival presents solo, small ensemble, and chamber orchestral programs.

The festival was founded in 2016 by multi-instrumentalist, scholar, and composer Andrew Arceci who was our guest on Episode 106, and who now joins us with guitarist Colin Davin, a performer in this season’s (2024) program.

As you will hear, performances for the Winchendon Music Festival take place at several venues around Winchendon.
