CONCERTS in AUGUST

Aug 6

PubliQuartet returns after wowing us in 2014.  The Washington Post says, “a perfect encapsulation of today’s trends in chamber music.”  They love to ‘jam’ on familiar quartet themes, but also play the originals with skill and grace.

Baritone, Thomas Glass, won the 2019 Metropolitan Opera National Auditions.  Joined by his fiancée, Gabrielle Skinner, viola, and Kyle Naig, pianist, to perform the rare Opus 4 Trio composed by Charles Loeffler (1861-1935). Listen for yourself why Thomas Glass won!
