Imagine a performance featuring world-class musicians in the intimacy of your living room. Add to that image 40 of your friends and neighbors, good food and wine ... and voila!  You have yourself a house concert. This phenomenon is growing across this country and in Europe, as more and more people experience the satisfaction of a musical evening spent “unplugged.”

All concerts are on Sundays at 4pm
