Mainly Mozart, home to the largest gathering of concertmasters and principal players in the United States through the highly acclaimed Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra, has announced a new chamber music series to launch in Fall 2024 at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.

Chef Claudia Sandoval, “MasterChef” winner and judge, who is also the Culinary Director and Executive Producer for Mainly Mozart’s “Culinary Concerto” Gala, is coordinating the sommeliers and wineries for the new series. Each concert will begin with an hour-long wine and appetizer reception at 6pm followed by a discussion with the sommelier, hosted by Chef Sandoval, preceding an intermission-free concert at 7 p.m. Wine will be poured between musical selections, and sommeliers and musicians will illustrate the connection of the wine to the pieces being performed. The three-Saturday series opens November 16, in a concert featuring Philadelphia Orchestra Concertmaster David Kim, performing with his orchestral colleagues Burchard Chang, viola and Priscilla Lee, cello. The wines will be curated by Sommelier Rafael Peterson of H Mercer Wine and Spirits, former Dining Room Captain at Addison and Wine Director of Born and Raised. PROGRAM: E.
