How about a top-notch classical concert by a dreamy ensemble for free? Just think about it: an afternoon of Rachmaninoff and Debussy for the mere cost of walking in the door. The ensemble we speak of is our very own Bay Chamber faculty. They don't just teach music, though they do that very well. Our faulty members have advanced degrees and continue to perform. Some have played at major venues including Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. Some have composed music for movies and television series.
FREE, with donations to the Music School Scholarship Fund accepted at the door. No advanced registration, just show up at the door!
