You know David Yang, our Artistic Director, as a gifted violist and the creative force behind the Newburyport Chamber Music Festival. But did you know he’s also an avid cyclist?

This spring, David is bringing both passions together in support of NCMF. On May 21, he will set out from Philadelphia on a 471-mile bicycle journey, arriving in Newburyport seven days later on May 27 - raising funds for the festival everymile of the way.

We invite you to be part of the journey. Follow along, cheer him on, and support the ride by making a gift to help sustain the festival.
