For starry-eyed romantics, summer in Seattle means only one thing: the Seattle Chamber Music Society’s Summer Festival, in its 28th year under the artistic direction of cellist and University of Washington music professor Toby Saks. There is, quite simply, nothing else that stirs the heart quite like the live performances of this series, with its world-class roster of talent and rousing programs. The festival runs Monday-July 31 at Seattle’s Lakeside School and moves to Redmond’s Overlake School Aug. 5-14.
