Brahms and Schoenfeld Favorites – Midsummer’s Music Labor Day Gala

Saving the best for last, we bring back our most requested piece of music – Paul Schoenfield’s Café Music. Jazzy, whimsical, tender… it will touch you and leave a big smile on your face. The program concludes with what may be Brahms’ most beloved chamber music work – his First Piano Quartet, which is sometimes called the “Hungarian.” Plan to take this one in at our festive and exuberant Labor Day Gala at Bjorklunden, a terrific way to salute the summer season, or catch the same program at two other locations. But catch it for sure – it’s not to be missed!

Event Schedule:
3:00 pm • Wine & Appetizers
4:00 pm • Concert, Activities, and Fundraiser
6:00 pm • Gala Dinner Buffet by Chef Mauricio from Fresh Chefs
