This weekend, the third annual DoCha Chamber Music Festival will set up shop at the Orpheum Theater in Downtown Champaign. Executive Director Sally Bernhardsson joins us on Smile Politely Radio this week to talk about the festival, its founding, and some of the musical experiences awaiting attendees this weekend. Designed to expand the reach of classical music beyond concert halls and black tie events, DoCha features live performances that blend a variety of arts including music, dance, poetry, and more. There are also educational programs and events for children and families to participate.
This year’s festival begins Friday, March 30th and continues until Tuesday, April 3rd. View the DoCha website for complete schedule of events and performances, videos, and additional information.
