The Maine Festival of American Music

The Portland String Quartet is helping preserve a small pocket of America's melodies: Shaker music.
For 40 years the Portland String Quartet has been part of the Maine Festival of American Music at the Shaker Village at Sabbathday Lake.

For the past 10 years, the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village has hosted the Maine Festival of American Music: a chance to hear both traditional -- and non-traditional -- takes on Shaker music.

The Portland String Quartet has a huge part in that festival -- and its relationship with the Shaker village dates back more than 40 years. The concerts start Wednesday night.

Schedule: Maine Festival of American Music
