2019/2020 concerts
Other Arion seasons
Arion Chamber Music is excited to announce the programming for our fifth season. We are once again planning four concerts with both new and returning performers. We will once again be joined by VC3, the cello trio which played Arion's first concert in 2015 and the Alcott Trio, which formed after playing together during our first season. The Alcotts are still working on finishing the CD that reprises it's 2018 concert. This year we'll be joined by a new string quartet, Quartet 131, which formed after three of its members performed in last November's Arion Chamber Music concert. And the young violinist William Wei will return, this time playing with pianist/composer Inessa Zartetsky.
All concerts will be at Christ & St. Stephens Church, 120 W. 69th St., NYC. It is an intimate space with fine acoustics, and is an ideal setting for chamber music. Please join us.
Each concert is $30. For students under 25 with ID tickets are half price at the door. All concerts begin at 8:00pm.
Here's a quick overview of the coming season. You can buy all four concerts with the season subscription option at the bottom of this page:
