The Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, Massachusetts is an intimate venue with about 330 seats. The stage sits right above the water of the Atlantic Ocean. The music performed onstage is supplemented by the ambience of the world backstage. With this backdrop in mind, join the audience for music by Francis Poulenc and Gabriel Faure in performances from the Rockport Chamber Music Festival, on Monday's Performance Today.
