Intimate Concerts
Intimate Concerts take place in a stylish home-the preferred up-close and personal setting for chamber music- the ‘original party music’ . Each concert is followed by a scrumptious reception along with an exclusive ‘back-stage-pass’ accessibility to the artists. The scene is festive and fun, and the music is to die for. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry… and we’ll do it all together. Very close together.
All Intimate concerts begin at 7:30 PM and venue information is emailed within 1 to 2 weeks of each performance.(performed in private homes)
