Music At Wentworth Villa – 2026/27
We are excited to announce our 2026/27 season of Music At Wentworth Villa! There will be nine concerts this coming season. We have our usual mix of returning artists, and those who are new to Wentworth Villa. This season we have performers coming from Vienna, London, Paris, and Toronto, as well as those who are more locally based but internationally renowned.
Season Passes will be available from May 24th until September 1st at the special price of $360 for the nine concerts. The passes are fully transferable, so if you cannot attend a concert you can pass your seat to a friend. Any remaining tickets to individual concerts will then be available for purchase on our website, costing $45 each (students $25).
As in previous seasons, all performances are on Sunday afternoons, starting at our regular time of 2:30 pm. We will be following our established format of two 35-45-minute halves, with a 15-minute intermission. Our performers will introduce their programs as they go, and there will be a chance to ask questions in a short Q and A at the end of the concert, after the encores.
Many thanks to our sponsors Burkett & Co. for their ongoing support, The Gail O’Riordan Climate and the Arts Legacy Fund through the Victoria Foundation, The McElhaney Briggs Foundation, our anonymous sponsors, and to Tom Lee Music for loaning us the beautiful piano. Please support Music At Wentworth Villa, and please pass on the link to your friends! We look forward to welcoming you back to Wentworth Villa in October.
