About VentiCordi

 VentiCordi

   The New Sound of Chamber Music in Maine

---

 

VentiCordi (Winds and Strings) is a musical collaboration between oboist Kathleen McNerney and violinist Dean Stein, combining their love of chamber music with innovative programming that blends wind and string instruments.  Both Ms. McNerney and Mr. Stein performed nationally and internationally as members of professional chamber ensembles. Ms. McNerney played oboe with two woodwind quintets in Los Angeles; Imbroglio and Calico Winds, and Mr. Stein was a violinist with the DaPonte String Quartet.  Their respective musical journeys prepared them to explore creative frontiers beyond the usual constraints of either format.   

The choice of the Kennebunks for summer concerts was natural, as the great beauty of the area inspires both artist and concertgoer.  VentiCordi aspires to enhance the cultural life of the Kennebunks, for year round residents and tourists alike.

VentiCordi has a bright future ahead, and you can be part of it. Starting last year with two concert programs in the summer of 2009 in Kennebunk, we added a third concert this summer and have plans to expand our musical offerings over both the summer and winter seasons.
