My friend spends part of her year in Le Marche in Italy, and would love to play chamber music with anyone who lives there or who will be traveling there? She has instruments (piano, violin, Viola, cello) for friends to play at her home in the southern Marche area. Does anyone know anyone who might be interested?

Come on, that's hardly the question. Americans (even those minutely few who actually do like chamber music and play an instrument well enough to partake with strangers in their home) travel on such short trips, the odds of finding someone who would want to sacrifice precious holiday time for playing chamber music with strangers in Le Marche on a trip to Italy are minuscule. So - good luck, but I think your friend is much better off finding playing partners in Le Marche among locals. I trust she has bothered to learn some Italian so she'll be pleasant company for the Italians she would invite? If she keeps waiting on itinerant chamber-music playing tourists, it could be a long wait...
That doesn't mean that nobody like chamber music...
You might try posting the same inquiry on the Italy forum at SlowTrav.com. There a a number of people on that board who live in or frequent the area of Le Marche and could perhaps offer suggestions.
Well, of course you are both right. She does live there several months a year, and she does speak Italian and Spanish and she has organized little groups in both countries and in France, for amateurs to go and play together. She was just sort of hoping that there might be some fodorites who like music so much that they'd jump at the chance to meet some "locals" (her local players/friends) even though on holiday.
I was just trying to scare up some ideas, and now I have some. I'll take a look on SlowTrav., which is a very good site, but I hadn't thought of it for this.
Thanks for your help.
