*Artist’s Debut at South Mountain Concerts

SOUTH MOUNTAIN CONCERTS
Pittsfield, MA

In 1918, when amateur pianist, composer, and Gilded Age patron of the arts Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge wanted to entertain her friends, she built an intimate 440-seat chamber music concert hall on a pristine 59-acre hilltop in Pittsfield, in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. Over one hundred years later, South Mountain Concerts is still bringing acclaimed chamber ensembles and soloists of international renown to the Berkshires each fall to perform in the hall that Coolidge built.
The Concert Hall was constructed from the timber of an old textile mill and was christened “The Temple of Chamber Music” for its superb acoustics. Listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings, its classic New England exterior houses a rustic, airy concert space, with seating provided by cushioned antique church pews. Designed exclusively for chamber music, the seamless acoustic shell projects every musical nuance to the back of the hall with perfect clarity and immediacy.
