Following our wonderful February jazz concert, we look forward to the annual Fenton Brown Emerging Artists Concert, showcasing talented young performers. On March 9, Essex Winter Series welcomes Terra String Quartet to the stage at Congregation Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek in Chester, CT. This performance by these dynamic, rising stars – Harriet Langley (violin), Amelia Dietrich (violin), Chih-Ta Chen (viola) and Audrey Chen (cello) – will delight with selections from Haydn, Ravel and Beethoven.
On March 10th the Quartet will begin a four-day Community Outreach residency with Essex Winter Series, which will take them to senior communities and schools throughout Middlesex and New London counties. These educational and entertaining sessions can also be taken advantage of at free and open-to-the public events at the Essex Library Association (March 12 at 4 pm) and, in conjunction with the Community Music School String Ensemble, the Essex Town Hall Auditorium (March 11 at 6 pm).
The season closes on April 6 with a gathering of EWS Emerging Artist alumni who will join incoming Artistic Director and flutist Tara Helen O’Connor to celebrate retiring Artistic Director Mihae Lee’s 15 years of beautiful music and community outreach with Essex Winter Series. This performance takes place at Valley Regional High School.
Concerts begin at 3 pm and are general admission. Adult - $45 / Student - $5. For tickets visit www.essexwinterseries.com or call 860-272-4572. For all our venues, parking, entry and seating accessibility is available.
