Feldman FAQs

The Feldman is excited to present another season of six concerts by nationally and internationally acclaimed musicians. We will present three string quartets, two piano trios, and a piano quartet. The high standard of musicianship you have come to expect from the Feldman will be maintained.

Our artistic committee, led by our Artistic Director, works very closely in collaboration with our good friends on the Peninsula, the Chamber Music Society of Williamsburg to screen the many chamber groups who seek to play at the Feldman. After an exhaustive listening and review, the list is whittled down, and schedules, programs, and fees are negotiated to provide you with the best in classical music entertainment at a fair price.

Responding to audience feedback, concert start time will now be at 7:30pm. We believe this change to start 30 minutes earlier will better suit our patrons who have to be at school or work the next morning.

Dwight’s lectures will still begin at 7:00pm but will wrap up in time for concert start at 7:30pm.

We are excited to be holding concerts alternating at two different venues next season. Concerts 1, 3, and 5 will continue to be held at the Performing Arts Center at St Patrick Catholic School; Concerts 2, 4, and 6 will now be held at the George H. and Linda M. Kaufman Theater in the Chrysler Museum.

For many years prior to its renovation, the Feldman held all concerts at the Chrysler Museum. While the Museum was undergoing renovation, the Feldman moved to St Pat’s. Many patrons have eagerly awaited the opportunity to hear chamber music back at the Chrysler, so we are responding to that desire.

Many of our patrons have also come to know and love the intimate venue at St Pat’s. Our musicians enjoy playing there, and use of the dining hall has made our pre-concert receptions at St Pat’s most enjoyable. Additionally, we have forged a good relationship with our hosts at St Pat’s, to include participating in their “Evenings at St Patrick” adult learning program with our “Chamber Music 101” class, and providing free admission to young students from St Pat’s.

We will continue to serve complimentary hors d’oeuvres and beverages at our venue at St Pat’s as we have the past several seasons. We will be working through the summer to arrange a pre-concert reception at the Chrysler concerts as well, but due to space and cost limitations, it is expected to be more limited. We will feature post-concert coffee and dessert at both venues to allow you the opportunity to meet the musicians.
