VARIOUS BAY CHAMBER ensembles will perform a free holiday concert Sunday afternoon in Rockpor t.

ROCKPORT — The Bay Chamber’s free Odeon Holiday Concert, featuring guest cellist Marc Johnson, starts at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Rockport Opera House.

Deirdre McClure, in her second year conducting for Bay Chamber, will direct the Odeon junior, youth and adult ensembles. Also on the program is the Odeon Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Gilda Joffe and Michael Reynolds.

The repertoire will include works by Mozart, Piazzolla, Schubert and Dvorak.

A reception for musicians and the audience will take place after the performance.

“Founded in 1961 by brothers Andrew Wolf and Thomas Wolf, Bay Chamber is dedicated to sustaining classical music as an art form — for that is its legacy,” a Bay Chamber release states. “In concerts and in the classroom Bay Chamber feels a responsibility to pass along this rich musical heritage to people of all ages and abilities while at the same time acknowledging the importance, and encouraging the exploration of all musical languages.”
