We are excited to present to you our new concert season which brings us some new noted and accomplished young artists along with other, long anticipated ones. We look forward to opening our concert season with our amazing local talent as the LCPS guitar teachers will come together to play our traditional fundraiser. Great musicians and a great variety of acts. Our first guest artist will be Alan Mears who has been described as “artist of extraordinary imagination…truly a next-generation phenomenon”, and highly praised for his imaginative and innovative arrangements of the music by J. S Bach. Trio Bolero, an esteemed two-guitars-and-cello trio of Miroslav and Nataša Lončar with their friend Rebekah Johnson will demonstrate the beauty of an intimate chamber ensemble and the delicacies of making music together. Colin Davin, the newly appointed Professor of Guitar at Shenandoah University – one of the most prominent guitarists of the young generation will close our regular concert series.

We are happy to bring these exciting and enjoyable programs to our community and we look forward to enjoying them together with YOU!
