Community concerts are at the heart of SLLMF’s mission. Alongside our five core concerts at Deertrees Theatre and select repeat performances at ticketed venues across New England, we bring chamber music directly into the community through free or donation‑based outreach events. These informal concerts reach audiences across Western Maine—families, seniors, students, and neighbors who may not otherwise experience live chamber music.
Other listening opportunities include recordings of the Deertrees concerts regularly broadcast on Maine Public Radio’s Maine Stage. Some concerts are also available on the SLLMF YouTube channel.
