CB Music Fest – Music & a Movie

You get two shows for the price of one with this ticket. First, two chamber music superstars, who have been playing music together since their Juilliard days, join forces to share with you this creative program that features the works of women composers. Then, you’ll watch a film about female classical composers. During intermission, test your musical knowledge in a trivia game and win a great prize!
