The opening recital in the second season of Westminster Conservatory at Nassau, a free lunchtime chamber music series, will take place on Thursday, September 18 at 12:15 p.m. in the Niles Chapel of Nassau Presbyterian Church. The series is a collaborative effort between the church and the Westminster Conservatory of Music.
The series features performances by members of the artist faculty of Westminster Conservatory. This season recitals will take place on the third Thursday of every month, September to May (except December). Recitals are 30 to 40 minutes long and are open to the public.
