Prelude Concert with Cohda Quartet at 6:30 PM

This concert brings the festival to a vibrant close, featuring an eclectic mix of pieces that celebrate the joy of music. From Paul Schoenfield’s lively Trio for Clarinet, Violin, and Piano, to the pastoral serenity of Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending, and the rhythmic vitality of Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances” from West Side Story, concluding with Dvořák’s uplifting Serenade for Strings. This finale showcases the power of music to unite, inspire, and exhilarate, offering a fittingly triumphant end to the musical journey.
