Soprano Charlotte Dewey and pianist Jim Ballard have been giving concerts at the Charlemont Inn for the past two and a half years. This season Monica Jakuc Leverett and friends are joining them for an inaugural chamber music series in September. All concerts will be followed by dinner, with a special price for the combination. As a tribute to the Inn’s famous ghosts, every program will have at least one work especially dedicated to its guests from other dimensions. The concerts will benefit the Charlemont Inn Preservation Society, a tax-deductible non-profit organization.
