The Belvedere Series of chamber concerts will present seven programs in its 2025-26 season – four in the salon setting of Marburg House in Richmond’s Carillon district, three in the larger venues of Ryan Recital Hall at St. Christopher’s School and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church.
Pianist Ingrid Keller, artistic director of the series, will join mixed instrumental ensembles and accompany tenors Daniel McGrew and Karim Sulayman, and the series will play host to the new-music quartet Owls.
The coming season will feature major works by Mozart, Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, Dohnányi and Ravel, as well as premieres of a horn trio by Kati Agócs, a song cycle by Richmond native Zachary Wadsworth, and, in a showcase of female composers, a new work by Polina Nazaykinskaya.
Subscriptions for the three concerts at St. Christopher’s and St. Stephen’s are $100, $30-$45 for single tickets. Single tickets are $30 for the Marburg performances; seating is limited.
Tickets for a season-opening fund-raiser are $135.23.
