Coming off of its extraordinary 40th season, successfully staged in the midst of a pandemic, the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival is preparing a 2022 season with the same mixture of globally-recognized musical superstars and supremely-
talented newcomers.
This formula has sustained the festival since its inception, and it’ll carry it through this year – sustained by performances, special programs, salons, and the immensely popular Feasts of the Festival.
The season launches with Three Concertmasters on Friday, July 1, and Saturday, July 2.
This premiere performance will showcase the talents of David Coucheron of The Atlanta Symphony; Martin Chalifour of The Los Angeles Philharmonic; and David Kim of the Philadelphia Orchestra; with Elizabeth Pridgen on piano.
The festival will celebrate Independence Day with American Salute on Sunday, July 3, in Highlands at PAC. This suite will
feature selections about America and works by American composers.
The regular Concert Series are held Fridays and Sundays at the Highlands Performing Arts Center – 507 Chestnut Street; Saturdays and Mondays at the Village Green Commons in Cashiers on Frank Allen Road.
“In addition to our regular concerts we will again be featuring a variety of fun
additional programs and events, many free, including an Interlude Concert, our annual Family Concerts and Ice Cream Social including a new one in Cashiers; classes with the Center for Life Enrichment in Highlands, and of course our popular Salons and Festival Feasts,” says William Ransom, the festival’s Anna and Hays Mershon Artistic Director.
The complete schedule is taking shape as The Laurel goes to press, so for more information or to purchase tickets for the season or for individual concerts call (828) 526-9060, send an email to [email protected], or visit h-cmusicfestival.org.
