Bridge & Wolak are a globe-trotting musical duo from Canada who create life-affirming concerts full of beauty, virtuosity, and humor. Michael Bridge, accordion, and Kornel Wolak, clarinet (both are also skilled pianists) share a love for classical, jazz, and world music, a fascination with fusing genres, and a passion for performance. They invite you to join them on their slightly unruly musical adventure in this free concert, fun for the whole family!

Join us at the Newport Classical Recital Hall, in the heart of Newport, for an afternoon of free live music with the Navy Band Northeast’s Crosswinds Woodwind Quintet! These five talented active-duty Navy musicians bring the rich colors of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn to life with a fun, wide-ranging program of beloved classical works, patriotic favorites, and familiar tunes that are sure to get you dancing. Guests will also enjoy the concert in our beautifully restored, air-conditioned Recital Hall, an intimate space where history, comfort, and music come together.

Flutist Amir Hoshang Farsi and pianist Chelsea Wang, both alumni of Carnegie Hall’s prestigious Ensemble Connect, join forces to close the Chamber Series with brilliance and flair. Hailed as “virtuosic and birdlike” (I Care If You Listen), Farsi brings his lyrical tone and adventurous spirit to a rich and colorful program featuring works by Gabriel Fauré, Lili Boulanger, Ian Clarke, Reena Esmail, and Yuko Uebayashi.
