Violinist Midori, the Pacifica Quartet with clarinetist Anthony McGill and the SPA Trio – soprano Susanna Phillips, violist Paul Neubauer and pianist Anne-Marie McDermott – highlight classical attractions in the coming season of the University of Richmond’s Modlin Arts Center.
In addition to the Modlin Arts ticketed series, which also will present jazz, world music, dance and theater troupes, the university’s music department will stage free concerts by faculty, student ensembles and guest artists.
Subscriptions for three to six events receive a 15 percent discount on ticket prices. Free concerts, other than the annual Candlelight Festival of Lessons and Carols, require registration.
