The NBMAA’s longstanding monthly concert series features local & regional performances from a variety of musical genres.

Sunday, April 14 - The Beatles String Quartet

The New Britain Symphony presents the best of The Beatles on Sunday, April 14, with a concert by The Beatles String Quartet. Formed in 1960, The Beatles are regarded as the most influential band of all time and were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and the recognition of popular music as an art form.

Sunday, March 10 - Pianist Corbin Beisner will perform works by Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel, and Liszt

Mr. Beisner has been active as a classical pianist throughout the United States and Europe since his solo recital debut in 2005. A year later in 2006, he gave his debut concerto performance with Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no. 3 in C minor, op. 37.

In the United States, he has been invited to perform by Chopin societies in Connecticut, Texas, the Chopin Foundation in Florida, the American Liszt Society, and the Polish-American Foundation of Connecticut.

Mr. Beisner has performed with symphony orchestras in Indiana, Connecticut, and Nevada in the U.S. and in Switzerland and Italy. He also frequently collaborates with colleagues in chamber music and vocal accompaniment.
