South Haven Performance Series
Contributing to the Cultural Fabric of Our Community
The Majestic Brass octet is comprised of some of the finest musicians in West Michigan who will present the rich tradition of brass chamber music. Their members perform with the Grand Rapids, Detroit and Chicago Symphonies and are on the faculty at Michigan State, Central Michigan, Western Michigan and Grand Valley State universities.
The Burdick-Thorne String Quartet will be making their premier performance in South Haven. The quartet is an endowed in-residence ensemble of the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra. Stefan Hubenov and Lisa Williams, violinists; Nicholas Jeffery, viola; and Igor Cetkovic, cello, all hold principal chairs in the KSO and are part of the orchestra’s outreach program.
A pioneering oboe, bassoon and piano ensemble, the Poulenc Trio has garnered international recognition over its 20-year history. Featured are Irina Kaplan Lande, piano; Aleh Remezau, oboe; and Bryan Young, bassoon. The trio over its 20-year history has become one of the most sought-after piano and woodwind ensembles in the country, presenting concerts in 47 states and at prestigious music festivals in Italy, Mexico and Russia.
The 2025 season will conclude with a return holiday concert by the premiere professional choral ensemble Vox GR. The ensemble was enthusiastically received in South Haven this past December with their repertoire of choral music that stretched across all eras by composers of diverse backgrounds.
Admission to the June, July and August concerts is $15. Admission to the December concert is free as a holiday gift to the community. Students are always admitted free. Tickets are cash at the door on the day of the concert.
