WEST BARNSTABLE, MA—October 2, 2024
World-class artists to perform at venues throughout the region

Cape Symphony Presents is thrilled to announce its 2024/2025 lineup of world-class artists performing music that transcends genres, shares stories, and brings people together.

“We’re proud to showcase exceptional local artists, and also to bring music to the Cape that audiences might not otherwise experience live,” said Richard Chwastiak, who created and manages the Cape Symphony Presents program for Cape Symphony. Its events have featured music from around the globe—Mexico to Mozambique, Ireland to India.  There is always something new to experience. “Our shows are inclusive, laid-back, and fun,” adds Cape Symphony’s Julian Loida, who produces events at their Falmouth campus (60 Highfield Drive). “The music is always outstanding, and people go home feeling great!”
