Dear Friends,
I am thrilled to host the upcoming 2026-27 Season at the Grinberg Classical Salon Series on New York’s Upper West Side — a one-of-a-kind, intimate salon concerts that I founded back in 2013, in revival of the old and elegant European tradition of Hausmusik. On August 30th / September 2nd, be sure not to miss the end-of-summer VIENNESE CLASSICAL TRIAD VI piano trio sequel, showcasing sublime piano trios by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven (“Ghost” trio). And, this Fall will be a fiery, Spanish-themed season in celebration of Manuel de Falla’s 150th birthday anniversary and the composers within his circle. The salons will include both celebrated and seldom-heard masterworks by the Iberian Baroque masters (Scarlatti, Seixas, Soler) as well as by Boccherini, Sarasate, Tarrega, Albeniz, Granados, Falla, Turina, Pompou, Ravel, Cassado, Halffter, and Piazzolla, among others. To learn more about the upcoming Summer & Fall 2026 Season, scroll down below.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
…and wishing you all a fun and relaxing Summer…!!
Best wishes,
Dr. Yelena Grinberg, the artistic director and founder of Grinberg Classical Salon Series
