Candlelight and Classics: From Haydn to Holiday

Clement House

What happens when you get 3 cellos on a stage? How about 4? 8? Or even 12? Take advantage of a unique opportunity to hear complex, challenging, and masterful pieces that can only be played with a veritable choir of cellos.

Music Academy of the West

Imagine as an aspiring tennis pro, you get an hour on the court with Venus Williams or Rafael Nadal. Or, as an early career golf talent, hitting the links with Tiger Woods? x2 is the classical music version of this dream – realized before a live audience. This unique series features our Academy Artists paired with the brilliant 2023 fellows – the energy is explosive as emerging talents dance with legends.

x2: Sundial & Dvořák’s String Quintet No. 2

Long ago, small groups of classical musicians entertained nobility in the elegant salons where they held court. The music was designed for the space – intimate, inviting, elegant in every detail.

Today, modern audiences can partake in this experience in a less formal setting, with a series of exquisite chamber concerts, each preceded by a wine reception.

Chamber Night #2: Mozart, Poulenc & Ravel

Our masterclasses give audiences a glimpse into our fellows’ journey to classical greatness. It’s an opportunity to observe a one-on-one teaching session between teaching artist and fellow.
