(October 24, 2026) — After the January cancellation of our first Essex Winter Series 2026 season concert, the rescheduled event is due to conclude the season on November 8, 2026. Crafting a performance that weaves together the celebration of the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, Artistic Director and flutist Tara Helen O’Connor gathers friends for a program called Timeless Bonds and Renewed Horizons.
Joining Tara for the inaugural Mihae Lee Legacy Concert are Ani Kavafian, violin; Peter Wiley, cello; and Shai Wosner, piano … four leading chamber musicians in an unforgettable collaboration to perform works by J.S.Bach, Mel Bonis, and Valerie Coleman, culminating in Schubert’s ravishing Trio in B-flat Major, D. 898.
The concert will take place at Valley Regional High School in Deep River at 3:00 p.m. All seating is general admission. Adults, $45. Students, $5. Parking, entry and seating accessibility are available. For information or to purchase tickets visit www.essexwinterseries.com or call 860-272-4572.
