2026 Four Seasons in Music - “Winter Dreams”

In 2026, the acclaimed chamber music series Four Seasons in Music celebrates its eighth season under the inspired direction of Artistic Director Kathryn Lockwood. Set amidst the breathtaking beauty of The Preserve’s historic Hempstead House, Castle Gould, and picturesque waterfront grounds, this distinctive series presents four seasonal concerts. Each performance weaves together music and poetry, inviting audiences to connect deeply and reflect meaningfully throughout the year.

The Preserve’s ensemble-in-residence duoJalal (Kathryn Lockwood and Yousif Sheronick) is joined by a rotating roster of internationally celebrated musicians. Together, they deliver dynamic performances spanning classical masterworks by Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart to works by today’s globally diverse composers. Each concert concludes with a themed reception, inviting guests to mingle with the artists and fellow music lovers in an atmosphere of warmth and community.

This Series is made possible through the generous support of Anne and Vincent Mai.

Kick off the new year with Winter Dreams, a concert that blends music with messages of legacy, hope, and resilience. As we celebrate the life and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we’ll reflect on courage, compassion, and the dream of a better world. You’ll hear music that captures struggle and triumph, sorrow and joy, and the power of a cultural legacy that still inspires today.
