Tickets are now on sale for our breathtaking Luminosity candlelight concert on Saturday, January 17, from 7:30 – 8:45 pm. Stephanie and Jeffrey will be joined by bassoonist Eleni Katz, a new faculty member at the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Mead Witter School of Music.

Katz is a winner of the 2022 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition and has appeared with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest. In the 2025–26 season, she will perform with Camerata Pacifica, the Phoenix Chamber Music Society, Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival, and Artist Series Concerts of Sarasota.

The concert will be performed entirely by the warmth of glowing candlelight in contrast with what’s sure to be a chilly January evening. We invite you to stay for a champagne and sweets reception following the concert.
