Some pictures of last week's recital for the Piano Works In Progress CoLAB Works retreat. It was a great way to cap off an exceptional week of learning, sharing, and most importantly, piano!

Our resident artists for this week have just moved in, so stay tuned for their adventures, and be sure to come see them perform in concert at our Evenings at Avaloch concert series. This week's community concert is at 5 PM, Friday, August 28th.

On top of that, come by Saturday night at 7:30 PM for a concert with Scott Kirby, Gabriel Donohue, and Ashley Bathgate! It will be a concert you do not want to miss.

What a joy to have the Northeast Chamber Music Seminar back on the Avaloch campus! Throughout their week with us, this dedicated group of chamber musicians filled our studios with collaboration, discovery, and plenty of beautiful music.

We’re so glad to provide a place where musicians can gather, rehearse, learn from one another, and enjoy making music together. 🎶
