A winter concert includes extended works frequently of technical challenge. For summer audiences, a lighter fare is offered, including Gounod’s “Ave Maria” with violin and piano, Mendelssohn’s “Scherzo” for piano trio, Gershwin’s “Summertime” for violin and piano, Saint-Saens’ “Allegro Appassionata” for cello and piano, Brahms Piano Duets Op. 39, Vivaldi’s Concerto for Two Violins and Cello, a Celtic Suite for two flutes and more.  

The library is located at 186 East Main Street. For information, please call the Thompson Free  Library at 207-564-3350.
