Upcoming Events - 2022 SERIES

2022 Series

The South Haven Performance Series is excited to announce the performances for the 2022 season. The June and August concerts will be held at the First United Methodist Church, 429 Michigan Avenue while the July concert will be performed the Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 0632 Blue Star Memorial Highway. All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m.


Friday, June 24 The Lincoln Trio

Described in performance reviews as “sensational” “bewitching” and “models of vibrancy and control”, the celebrated GRAMMY nominated Chicago-based Lincoln Trio—made up of Desirée Ruhstrat, violin, David Cunliffe, cello, and Marta Aznavoorian, piano—takes its name from their home, the heartland of the United States, the land of Lincoln. It will be the ensemble’s second appearance in our series having performed to rave reviews in 2019.

The trio, formed in 2003, has been praised for its polished presentations of well-known chamber works and its ability to forge new paths with contemporary repertoire. The group’s reputation as a first-rate ensemble draws an eclectic audience of sophisticated music lovers, young admirers of contemporary programs and students discovering chamber music for the first time.

Friday, July 29 Baritone Stephen Lancaster and Organist Kevin Vaughn

Baritone Stephen Lancaster engages audiences through a diverse repertoire of vocal music. He has been described in reviews as “a fine storyteller”. Winner of the Nico Castel International Master Singer Competition and The American Prize in art song and oratorio, he has been featured as a soloist in venues around the world, including Carnegie Hall, Chicago Cultural Center, Chiang-Kai Shek Memorial Hall, and Centro Cultural de Belém.

Kevin J. Vaughn is Director of Music and Organist at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in South Bend, Indiana, accompanist for the South Bend Chamber Singers and a nationally-touring concert artist. In addition to appearing regularly as a solo organ recitalist in this country and internationally, he performs with baritone Stephen Lancaster in collaborative programs of music for voice and organ.

Friday, August 26 Axiom Brass

The Chicago-based Axiom Brass returns to South Haven after performing in our inaugural season (2016). The ensemble has been described in reviews as “exceptional ambassadors for classical music” and “innovative programmers”. Their concert experiences are designed for audiences that stretch the imagination and expand sensibilities. The programs regularly pair original works by composers with early musical translations and rousing tangos. As strong advocates for the creation and performance of “living music”, the ensemble actively engages with their audiences to showcase the importance of performing the music of living composers.
