This talented Swiss ensemble consists of four extraordinary artists performing on a set of equally extraordinary Stradivarius instruments. This is a unique opportunity to hear the distinctive sound previously experienced by only kings and queens.
Imagine a Tony® Award-winning musical that’s hip, savvy, uproariously funny and where the cast consists of puppets (yes, puppets). AVENUE is the story of the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account.
Passion, emotion and purity are at the heart of one of the world’s most complex and mysterious art forms, flamenco. Hailed by critics everywhere, Noche Flamenca is recognized as the most authentic touring company in the field today.

Excellent concert. Both performers were allowed to shine in individual solo parts.

What a thrill to see and hear this wonderfully gifted young man perform. I felt my husband Alan’s presence, he was grinning from ear to ear, as was I. We are so blessed with the coming of such masterful talent, thanks to Dr. Michael Blachly.
God bless,

Although I had never heard of Narek Hakhnazaryan when I bought the tickets and I can barely pronounce his name, I would definitely come back for any and all of his performances locally. I enjoyed this concert in my favorite venue for classical music - the concert hall.
