Guarneri Hall launches its 2025-26 concert season with Re:newal, the 8th Annual NEXUS Chamber Music Festival. Join us to renew and refresh your spirits through a series of three concerts that connect two world premieres with a selection of underperformed treasures from the past.
NEXUS Chamber Music is the ensemble-in-residence at Guarneri Hall. Led by Co-Artistic Directors Alexander Hersh and Brian Hong, NEXUS are driven to create unique and engaging experiences that make classical music relevant to an ever-broadening audience.
NEXUS Chamber Music returns to the North Shore to close the festival with Re:ignite, a performance of works by Luigi Boccherini, Eleanor Alberga, and Arnold Schoenberg in the stunningly beautiful Winnetka Congregational Church.
Note the later (7:00 pm) starting time for this event.
