A Note From Our Artistic Director

From dynamic guest soloists to chamber performances that spotlight our ensembles, this year’s concerts promise powerful music-making and unforgettable moments. We’re performing in some of the region’s most exceptional venues—from the Duffy Arts Center and Mendenhall Inn to the Chester County History Center, Kennett Library, and Winterthur Museum. Our season culminates in a grand finale at Longwood Gardens.
