Ed Perzel Chamber Music Series concert happening Jan. 22 at the Ashe Arts Center

The series began in 2018 when founder Ed Perzel recognized community interest in having additional classical music as part of the Arts Council programming schedule. He gathered a few like-minded friends and created what is now called in his honor, the Ed Perzel Chamber Music Series.

During the winter months, the warmth of the Arts Center’s space and the music provide a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The name “chamber music” describes exactly what it is: music composed for musicians and their audience, all of whom can fit into a palace chamber or a home, rather than a concert hall.

The more popular works are for piano, violin, and cello; string quartets are also familiar to most audiences. Because the group of musicians is small, the performance space is small, and the audience is generally small, chamber music is often called “the music of friends.”

Come join your friends for the Ed Perzel Chamber Music Series concert on Sunday, Jan. 22 at 2 p.m., at the Ashe Arts Center. Sponsored by the Ashe County Arts Council. This concert was made possible by the supporters of the Ed Perzel Chamber Society. General admission at the Ashe Arts Center and tickets are $18.50 adults, $7.50 students, all fees and taxes are included. Tickets may be purchased at www.asheountyarts.org.
