Welcome to the Concerts from Kirkwood 2019 – 2020 season. Once again, the generosity of our patrons and audiences has enabled us to present a quality schedule of four concerts featuring artists of international, national and regional renown. We remain grateful for the continuing support we receive and look forward to welcoming back not only our regular supporters, but also what we hope will be many new friends as well. Each of our concerts is presented as a gift to the community, free of charge. We welcome the financial support of those who choose to contribute, and we hope to look forward to many seasons to come. Concerts from Kirkwood are presented in our church Sanctuary at 3:00 PM on a Saturday. We hope to see you then.
The season kicks off on October 19, 2019, as Concerts from Kirkwood is both honored and privileged to present the internationally renowned Spanish piano duo and recording artists, Carles & Sofia. They return to Kirkwood’s stage on their 2019 US tour with an outstanding program of the music of Gioacchino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini, Richard Wagner, Maurice Ravel, and Manuel De Falla. This is a must-see program that will thrill and amaze the audience with the virtuosity of one of the world’s great piano ensembles.
On December 7, 2019, the Beau Soir Ensemble brings the magic of harp, flute, and viola to our audience with a program created to usher in the holidays with a mix of seasonal and other music. Join us to begin your celebration of the holidays in style with a performance we’re sure will appeal to all ages.
You’ll enjoy a musical change of pace on March 21, 2020, as The Dash Duo brings the brilliance and energy of the trumpet, accompanied by organist Michael Lodico performing on Kirkwood’s excellent Allen organ. The program of light classics performed by true masters of the instrument will be sure to please all.
The season concludes on April 25, 2020, as the Vitali Piano Quartet takes the Concerts from Kirkwood stage. The quartet of piano, violin, viola, and cello continues our series featuring young and emerging artists of exceptional quality and professionalism. Please invite your friends, family and neighbors to join you in an afternoon of outstanding music.
