Please join us this 2024-2025 concert season to experience the thrill of live chamber music in a casual setting, right here, in Carteret County. Bring a friend and make it twice as fun. Students and children get free admission.

Our Season Opening Concert takes place on October 5 featuring the Akropolis Reed Quintet, a “collective voice driven by real excitement and a sense of adventure” (The Wire). On November 29, the Euclid Quartet performs Schubert’s beloved string quartet “Death and the Maiden,” and joins forces with me, clarinet, to present a clarinet quintet by Anna Wessner, lauded by the American Academy of Arts and Letters for her “simple, unpredictably expressive music.” We are thrilled to present a piano recital by Simone Dinnerstein on January 25, lauded by The Washington Post as “an artist of strikingly original ideas and irrefutable integrity.” We close the season on March 8 with Curtis on Tour, featuring GRAMMY® Award-winning guitarist Jason Vieaux, Curtis Institute of Music president Roberto Diaz, and emerging artists from Curtis.

Come and experience our 35th season! If you love what we do and wish to become more involved, please consider becoming a supporter. Our goal is to enhance the area’s rich cultural offering and stimulate the artistic vitality of our region. The board of directors and I are looking forward to meeting you at one of our concerts.

Musically yours,

Oskar Espina Ruiz,

Artistic Director
