Past Seasons
Your season just ended and already I can’t wait for next year. I attend between 80 and 90 live performances a season, the vast majority of which are classical music. Your series is always a highlight for me because of the combination of outstanding musicianship, artistry and thoughtful programming anchored by the amazing Pauline Martin. Thanks so much for an outstanding season.
