The Music at the Mansion Series
at Historic Highfield presents chamber music performed by an array of exceptional musical artists based in the New England states. With repertoire spanning centuries and representing lesser-known composers as well as the more famous, the intention of the series is to delight our audiences with music composed for more than one part. We welcome you to our intimate and acoustically sensitive hall for an inaugural season crafted to bring you pleasure and heightened musical appreciation. See concert dates and descriptions below. Tickets are $25 per person and are available by calling 508-495-1878 or using the link at the bottom of the page.  All concerts are on Sundays at 4:00 pm.

For many people, an intellectual perspective on music enhances listening; knowing what to listen for provides greater enjoyment. Highfield Hall’s new lecture/recital series, Musical Notes, is designed to refresh your current knowledge while giving you new and unique information on instruments, style and philosophical concepts. The format is simple: provocative words by knowledgeable lecturers followed by stimulating music, most often live performances by seasoned artists. Teas, coffee and cakes are complimentary. Tickets are $15 per person and are available by calling 508-495-1878 or using the link at the bottom of the page. All concerts are on Thursdays from 11 am to 1 pm. See dates and descriptions below.
