What does “Love” look like?

For us, allowing our differences to be the catalyst to better the world around us by giving to something greater than ourselves.

Love ties it all, but most importantly, it strengthens our friendship. The ability to see past your lens is something chamber music continues to teaches us time and time again. Come celebrate and hear the Love these composers poured into the works we will be performing next week.

-Friday, February 13th at 7:30pm, Westminster Reformed Presbyterian Church in Suffolk, VA
-Saturday, February 14th at 3pm, in Virginia Beach, VA
-Sunday, February 15th at 2pm, Franklin Baptist Church in Franklin, VA

All of our concerts are free and open to the public. Give what you can and help us continue to spread the joy and inspiration of live chamber music ~

It was so great to be able to perform and coach the students at the last week in preparation for their upcoming concert. Spreading inspiration to our next generation of musicians is such a huge fulfillment for us. Every step of the journey holds incredible meaning ~

Bundle up and come warm your soul with Beethoven and Smetana today at 3pm at Saint Mark Presbyterian Church in Rockville, MD before the snow rolls in!❄️🎶

*Round 2*

When you’re operating at a 12, things in the 7-8 category are easy to brush off 😌 Remember, life is happening for you, not to you ~

Having the capacity to realize things are going so well that something like this is a breath of fresh air. Breathe in the joy today, and don’t forget to laugh! “If you can’t laugh at yourself, you might be missing out on the funniest joke of the day.”

Santi!!!

Thrilled, no… excited, no… ecstatic? Whatever the word, the gratitude overflowing from our hearts is only one aspect of what is being created by playing together again. Thank you for always being yourself, teaching us something new, and always surprising us through genuine moments.

There’s much more that goes on beyond the stage in preparing for our concerts. Whether it’s printing and folding programs, meal prepping for the week, or putting together our email campaign, there’s never a dull moment.

Don’t forget to come out and join us this Saturday, January 24th at 3pm for some Beethoven and Smetana ~

Join us Saturday, January 24th at Saint Mark Presbyterian Church in Rockville, MD starting at 3 PM, to explore the “identity” through the sound of Beethoven and Smetana; two masters minds who bypassed “permission” with these monumental works.

Beethoven’s Op. 59 No. 2, and Smetana’s “From my Life.”

Come out for a post holiday treat, as the greatest gift we could ever give each other is our presence.
