The Academy of St Martin in the Fields Wind Ensemble performs on Coleman's series on April 16. If you're planning to attend (and we hope you are!), you should know that there have been a few changes to the originally announced program.

Molbe's “Air Arabe” and Glinka's "Trio Pathetique" will replace the Brahms sonata shown in our brochure, and the pianist for this special event will be Caroline Palmer, rather than Simon Crawford-Phillips as originally announced.

And don't forget that our season closing concert by the Calidore String Quartet is just two weeks later, on April 30.

Please join us...there's nothing quite like experiencing remarkable music in the company of others!

▶︎ 2020-21 CONCERTS CANCELED ◀︎

We hope you have safely weathered these past months of COVID-19. This period has been challenging for all of us!

For months, Coleman remained cautiously optimistic about the 2020-2021 concert season. However, the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, Health Department closure of indoor venues, and limitations against gatherings for live performance have forced the Coleman board of directors to make the difficult decision to cancel what would have been Coleman’s 117th season of presentations.

For details, see the post on our website at http://www.colemanchambermusic.org/2020-21-concerts-canceled/.
