Open Mic Classical Online

An “Open Mic” is for popular music only, right? WRONG!

Open Mic Classical is a new experience in classical music, helping our community’s musicians share their music with a friendly, and supportive audience. Classical musicians of all ages and levels are welcome.

Open Mic Classical is held at 3:00 pm on the 3rd Sunday of every month September through June usually at the Brewster Meeting House (1969 Main Street on Route 6A), home of First Parish Brewster UU Church, but due to covid-19 we meet online.

We try to have a 1.5-hour program with a featured guest musician who gets a longer spot. Our featured guest on September 19th, 2021 will be  Harwich based pianist James Rosenblum with a program featuring works by fantastic early 20th century composers, like Scott Joplin ragtimes, and Maurice Ravel works. This will be a sneak preview of a repertoire James will perform in its entirety at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod in October.
Cape Cod-based pianist and lawyer James Rosenblum has studied classical piano since age six. His teachers hail from Yale, Juilliard, the Manhattan School of Music, the Aspen Music Festival, and the Tel-Hai International Piano Master Classes. James was a finalist at the 2016 Chicago Amateur Piano Competition and is one of 48 worldwide competitors selected for the Cliburn Amateur Competition to take place in 2022.
