OUR 2025 - 2026
CONCERT SEASON
This season will present two series of concerts allowing for different dynamics for performers and audiences: the lively social atmosphere of a Friday evening and the calm pace of Sunday afternoon. Friday evenings will be longer shows (two acts with an intermission), exploring multiple genres and different approaches to small ensemble performance. Sunday afternoons will be shorter concerts presenting more traditional approaches to instrumental Classical music.
