Prepare to be captivated by the program for the evening, featuring the first movement of Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet; a set of variations on the popular tune (at least in the 1600s!) of Herzliebster Jesu and selections from a piano trio by Sam Post; the second movement from Bernard Vallandingham’s delightful Dance Suite and his brand new Character Sketches for Clarinet & Piano; and scintillating selections from Sulkhan Tsintsadze’s Miniatures for string quartet, based on Georgian folk songs.

The host will provide select wines and charcuterie and other hors d'oeuvres. We invite you to contribute by bringing your favorite dishes and wines to share, enhancing the communal experience. Stemware, ice, and bottled water will be readily available.

The venue is a spacious great room with 25 feet high vaulted ceilings and incredible acoustics. The room provides the perfect setting to immerse oneself in the enchanting melodies and captivating performances of Kassia Music. Its architectural design with vaulted ceilings not only adds to the visual appeal of the space but also contributes to its exceptional acoustics, allowing the music to resonate beautifully throughout the room.
Don't miss out on this sensational event! Mark your calendars for July 15th and join us for an evening that will transport you to the realms of musical brilliance and artistic magic. We can't wait to share this extraordinary night with you.
