Two East Greenwich concerts with Music on the Hill

Music lovers in East Greenwich can enjoy two chamber music concerts in town, part of Music on the Hill's festival.

St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 99 Peirce Street, hosts concerts on Friday June 3 at 7:00 pm and Sunday June 12 at 3:00 pm. Tickets are $25, free for students with ID. Tickets are sold at the door, cash and checks only, or online with credit cards at musiconthehill.eventbrite.com. Masks are required for all.

Other concerts take place in Cranston (June 7 and 9) and North Providence (June 4). Music on the Hill offers chamber music concerts as summer begins, in four Ocean State cities.

About Music on the Hill: Since 2008, Music on the Hill has welcomed thousands of chamber music lovers to concerts across Rhode Island, from our hometown of East Greenwich to Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Jamestown, Wickford, Westerly and more. Our ensemble includes professional musicians native to Rhode Island with international careers, as well as their friends and colleagues who have come to see Rhode Island as their home away from home, with many returning to the Ocean State each summer. Music on the Hill’s adventurous programs combine highlights of chamber music repertoire with less familiar gems. Concerts are offered in intimate venues where the audience sits up close to the action. Musicians play in a variety of ensembles in multiple concerts through the festival. Music on the Hill’s festival is made possible by support from The Carter Family Charitable Trust, The Aaron Roitman Fund for Chamber Music, and Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, through the Rhode Island Culture, Humanities, and Arts Recovery Grant (RI CHARG) program. This program was made possible thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts via funds from the federal American Rescue Plan Act.
