An Intimate Afternoon of Classical Music
This Saturday, April 19 at 3:30PM, I’m delighted to join forces with Clare for a special performance at the historic Bach Haus on Amherst Island. Nestled at 4545 South Shore Road in Stella, this 40-seat heritage venue offers the perfect intimate setting to experience the timeless beauty of piano and clarinet repertoire.
We invite you to immerse yourself in an afternoon of musical elegance, followed by an optional gourmet supper. Please note that ferry schedule planning is recommended for those traveling to the island.
As seating is extremely limited, reservations are essential through Dr. Inka Brockhausen at 613-539-3402 or Inkabrockhausen@gmail.com. Join us for this unique celebration of musical heritage in one of the region’s most charming historic settings.
