We had a great time last Saturday at our end-of-season concert. The program included Bernard’s Ephemera for clarinet and piano, Sam’s world-premiere sextet, and the Brahms Quintet, which sounded right at home in Redeemer’s beautiful space.

Our Kassia Kids also did a terrific job opening the concert, and we were glad to share a group photo with our 2026 Wammie Award for Best Classical Album.

Many thanks to The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer for hosting us so generously and for the lovely reception afterward.

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of performing a chamber music concert at Ingleside.
Our first visit there, a few years ago, came about through our dear friend Catherine Sands. Returning now brought back many memories. We miss her deeply.
This photo captures one of those special moments together after a trio concert a few years back 💛
