Artis—Naples is launching its 2015-2016 season by connecting with the community on a mission to “create and present world-class visual and performing arts,” through a series of free chamber concerts with the Naples Philharmonic from September 10-16.
The Naples Philharmonic String Quartet
Expanding on last year’s program, ensembles of string, brass and woodwind selected from the orchestra will visit eight different locations throughout town, performing works by some of classical music’s most-esteemed composers, including Brahms, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and more.
- Admission to the eight chamber music concert series is free. Visit artisnaples.org for more information.
