Robert writes of the series:

Since 1986, we have owned a home on a 10–acre property in the town of Searsmont in central coastal Maine: a landscape of small farms, low-bush blueberry fields, and woodlots inhabited by deer, wild turkeys, numerous species of birds, and the occasional moose, black bear, and coyote. Our home sits on a gently sloping parcel on the eastern side of Muzzy Ridge. It is in this setting that I have composed many works in the past 35 years.

Over fifteen years ago, we built an 800-square-foot studio onto our house: the perfect intimate venue for chamber music. You are invited to join us for the sixth season of Muzzy Ridge Concerts, as we celebrate chamber music in this place we love.

Concerts are approximately 60 minutes, without intermission. Concerts take place at Robert Sirota’s studio, 7 Sirota Drive, Searsmont, Maine 04973.

Since 1986, we have owned a home on a 10–acre property in the town of Searsmont in central coastal Maine: a landscape of small farms, low-bush blueberry fields, and woodlots inhabited by deer, wild turkeys, numerous species of birds, and the occasional moose, black bear, and coyote.

Our home sits on a gently sloping parcel on the eastern side of Muzzy Ridge. From the house we have a beautiful view eastward to Levenseller Mountain, part of the group of small mountains that includes the Camden Hills.

It is in this setting that I have composed many works in the past 40 years. Our publishing enterprise, Muzzy Ridge Music, is named for this place. The logo of Muzzy Ridge Music is based upon my rendering of Levenseller Mountain as seen from Muzzy Ridge.

Sixteen years ago, we built an 800-square-foot studio onto our house: the perfect intimate venue for chamber music. You are invited to join us for the sixth season of Muzzy Ridge Concerts – expanded to six concerts given by three stellar groups - as we celebrate chamber music in this space we love.
