Taking place at Sleepy Hollow Resort in South Haven, Michigan, this program is a twice-yearly gathering of chamber music players under the guidance of Sam and Paula Golden of Chicago. Three times a day each weekend, different combinations of musicians assemble as groups in the various newly rebuilt condos at the resort. Armed with their quartets, quintets, trios, whatever, these players make the finest music they can on the spot. At left: violinist Kay DeLuca, cellist Alice Karosas, violist Kristi Hansen, violinist Marcia Cozzi. Dropping in every few sessions will be one of our artists in residence.
On Saturday night the musicians form an orchestra and play a mostly unrehearsed concert, as shown below at the first concert in the new community room in the spring of 2009. Additional photos of our concerts and related weekend activities are posted on the Photo Gallery pages.
The New Concert Hall
Artist in residence and maestro Bruce Uchimura conducts the first concert in the new community room, which features an abundance of light and ample space for performers and audience alike.
Pictured at right in the spring of 2009 was the newest structure at Sleepy Hollow Resort — a much needed community building to replace the old dining hall/office. Though still smelling of fresh paint and new flooring, it was a wonderful and most welcome improvement.
