Departure

𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙂𝙍𝘼𝙈:

Departure: Breathing in Winter Concerto presents the last concert of the year with talented artists from Juilliard School to join forces to make some of the unique, intimate, close-harmony string quartet in a more intimate setting. We will be performing Dvorak’s classic “American Quartet” in F Major, one of the most popular quartets in the chamber music repertoire. After a brief intermission we will share Borodin’s Magical 2nd quartet and several soulful tunes by Bach, Saint-Saëns and Strauss with you

Departure: Breathing in Winter is pleased to present works from Art Lab Studio. Art Lab Studio’s “THIS IS NOT A SIMULATION” explores the sensory experience of phenomena through paintings, sculpture, sound and video. While reality may easily be compared to the unreal, the question remains: “What is reality?”

There will be wine, soft drinks, water, cheese, and snacks available. The doors open at 8:30 PM sharp, concert to start promptly at 8:45PM, please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to allow for seating and to start the concert smoothly. BYOB - guests are encouraged to bring their own choice of drink or wine.

• Tickets are general admission and we will ask everyone to donate $17.00 at the door upon arrival. We will only accept cash and Venmo.
