Season
Buckle up and get ready for The Wild West! We are thrilled to bring back a stellar roster of string players this year who will inspire you with rousing American classical and folk music; pieces by composers who "went West" to Spain, Paris, Argentina, and more; and a program inspired by Kerouac's "On the Road!"
