Dear Friends,
I am thrilled to host the 13th year of the Grinberg Classical Salon Series on New York’s Upper West Side – a one-of-a-kind, intimate salon concerts in revival of the old and elegant European tradition of Hausmusik. This forthcoming Winter & Spring 2026 season will feature a total of twelve thematic salon programs, including both beloved and seldom-heard masterworks by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Ferdinand Ries, Carl Czerny, Franz Schubert, Louise Farrenc, Felix & Fanny Mendelssohn, Robert & Clara Schumann, Niels Gade, Pauline Viardot, Johannes Brahms, Antonin Dvorak, Edvard Grieg, Jean Sibelius, Cecile Chaminade, Amy Beach, and many more! Be sure not to miss the Winter 2026 Season-opening piano trio salon – MOZARTEAN MARVELS – on Sunday, January 25th, at 5:00 p.m. and Wednesday, January 28th, at 6:00 p.m., featuring works by Mozart, Hummel, Schubert, and Beethoven. Other highlights of the upcoming Season will include an all-Women composer violin-piano program in tribute to CLARA SCHUMANN AND HER CONTEMPORARIES on March 8/11, and the MENDELSSOHNS AND MORE **Season Finale** on June 14/17, which will showcase works for piano trio by Robert Schumann, Niels Gade, and Fanny Hensel Mendelssohn.
