Our St. John’s chamber music series invites audiences into intimate musical spaces where stories, traditions, and communities come alive. Each concert highlights a different facet of connection—across cultures, generations, and landscapes—through the close-knit artistry of chamber music.
Schubert Octet offers a moment of togetherness during the holiday season—a musical embrace of joy, generosity, and fellowship, followed by a warm reception to continue the gathering.
