The music of composers Bedrich Smetana and Antonín Dvořák will initiate the eighth season of unique chamber music concerts provided by the Estero Concert Series at the Koreshan State Historic Site’s Art Hall.

The inaugural concert will be held at 3 p.m., Sunday, January 13, and will feature performing artists Bella Gutshtein on piano, Boris Sandler, Daniela Shtereva and Sania Whitaker on violins, Courtney Filner on viola and Antonio Innaimo on cello.  They will perform Smetana’s String Quartet N.1 in E minor (“From My Life”) and Dvorak’s Piano Quintet in A, Opus 81

Tickets are available at $42 per person or $120 for a subscription to all three concerts this season.  This price includes entrance to the park.  These concerts have been sold out in the past so reservations are recommended.  Reservations may be made by calling (646) 257-0003 or emailing rcc@rccnaples.org.

Performers for these concerts are all accomplished classical musicians, several of whom are currently with the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra and other important musical groups around the country.

The concerts also will feature a restored 1885 Steinway grand piano which was used by Koreshans in numerous concerts during their golden age.

The Art Hall at the Koreshan State Park is located at 3800 Corkscrew Road.  Seating is limited to 90 attendees.
