Wareham's music scene is about to expand its horizons -- all the way back to the 1600s.

Summer resident Ariadne Daskalakis is starting a classical music festival, called "Music from Land's End," that will feature music stretching from 18th century Bach to 20th century compositions by Luciano Berio.

"It should be a program which is enjoyable for almost all ages," said Daskalakis.

The festival will feature the Children's Concert at the Wareham Free Library on Thursday, July 26, at 11 a.m. A performance of the National Anthem at the Wareham Gatemen home game on July 27 at 7 p.m. comes next, followed by a Festive Concert at the Church of Good Shepherd on Sunday, July 29, at 4 p.m.

Admission is free, but donations will be accepted at the Festive Concert.

The ensemble will also hold an open rehearsal at the Spinney Memorial Library in Onset on Wednesday, July 25 at 4 p.m. where the community can get a taste of the upcoming concerts.

Daskalakis hopes the festival will give people a chance to enjoy music they might not otherwise experience.

"Classical music is a really wonderful medium of communication," said Daskalakis. "For people that don't listen to that all the time … the concert experience can be enjoyable and exciting."

Daskalakis grew up in Boston, studied music in European colleges, and currently teaches violin at the Music Conservatory of Cologne, Germany. But she has been summering in Wareham since the age of two.

"Wareham has remained a constant in my life ... and it remains home in a permanent way," said Daskalakis, who whose family recently rebuilt a permanent residence in Wareham.

The music festival is a way for Daskalakis to give back to Wareham.

"It's my love for Wareham, and ... what I do for a living, and I hope to combine the two," she said, later adding: "I feel like it's a part of my calling, my way of giving back to the community."

The musicians in the festival are just as international as Daskalakis. Three are violin students from her class in Germany -- Riccardo Caraceni from Italy, Mila Krasnyuk from Ukraine, and Andria Chang from California.

"Musicians are always a very international crowd, because music transcends language," explained Daskalakis.

Also performing are violist Sebastian Gottschick from Germany and cellist Paige Riggs from Newton, Mass.

"I'm totally excited to do it," said Daskalakis. "I want to share my music with the community and with special people."
