SOUTH WINDSOR CULTURAL ARTS
Sunday Concert Series
Our 43rd Season
During our Fall through Spring season, South Windsor Cultural Arts delights audiences with the sights and sounds of free classical chamber music concerts, performed by soloists and ensembles comprised of talented musicians from the Americas, Europe, and Asia. SWCA’s recently purchased new Yamaha model S7X Grand Piano has brought added beauty and excitement to our concert series.
Please plan on joining us for a memorable Sunday afternoon of music. You are encouraged to stay after the concert for a reception where you can speak with the musicians, catch up with old friends, and meet new ones.
