Chestnut Hill Concerts performers are preparing for their chamber music concert series in August by helping develop new audiences—specifically, they are visiting with elementary school students to explain how they make their music. The ongoing outreach program stopped at the Goodwin Elementary School in Old Saybrook recently.

The Chestnut Hill Concerts, highlighting chamber music, take place on Aug. 7, 14, 21, and 28 at The Kate in Old Saybrook. For more information, visit www.chestnuthillconcerts.org.
