The Ives Collective – Welcome!

Dear Friends,

As we look ahead to another season of extraordinary music-making, we invite you to join us for a year of discovery, inspiration, and connection through the Ives Collective.

Our upcoming season continues our commitment to presenting exceptional chamber music in a variety of intimate settings, bringing together remarkable artists and adventurous programming that celebrates both beloved masterpieces and lesser-known gems. Whether you are a longtime supporter or attending for the first time, we believe there is something in this season to surprise, move, and delight you.

Our Collective believes that great music should be accessible to everyone. To support that mission, we continue to offer two ways to attend our concerts. You may purchase season tickets in advance, reserving your place for the entire season and helping us plan confidently for the year ahead. Alternatively, you are always welcome to attend by making a donation of any amount at the door.

Thank you for being part of our musical community. We are honored to share this season with you and look forward to welcoming you to concerts filled with artistry, conversation, and the joy of live performance.

With gratitude,

Stephen Harrison & Susan Freier
Artistic Directors, Ives Collective
