The Chamber Music Pittsburgh Just Summer Series lights up The Highline in Pittsburgh’s South Side with three free community parties this August. Returning after last year’s success, Just Summer features a vibrant mix of top performers in Pittsburgh in a family friendly riverfront setting. Each concert showcases a different style of music, showing off the range and versatility of what chamber music can be.
