Salon Series: Schumann & Mendelssohn

It’s the perfect summer script: sunset, wine, and musical storytelling.

Start your evening under Santa Barbara’s golden summer sky, wine glass in hand, before experiencing chamber music that unfolds like a perfectly framed scene. Our fellows share the musical director’s cut where every instrumental voice deserves its own spotlight—from Norman’s high-octane Gran Turismo to Tchaikovsky’s emotionally layered Piano Trio in A Minor.

Like a private screening of an award-winning film, these performances bring you so close to the action you’ll catch every nuance.
