Place
2026 Programs
In 2026, Surround Sound explores a simple but powerful idea: place shapes expression.
Each gathering offers an immersive, art-centered experience, thoughtfully designed to invite curiosity and cultivate a deeper way to engage the world around us.
In these programs, we’ll listen, look, and taste for the individual components that together emerge as distinctive expressions of culture.
-
What makes a wine taste German, Spanish, or French?
-
What makes music sound German?
-
How do elements of culture echo across music and wine, and what do we notice when they do?
This season focuses on Place, but the deeper practice comes as we pay attention. The same approach can illuminate other questions, other cultures, other themes–all things we hope to explore in the months and years ahead.
Join us as we discover what it means to hear and taste where something comes from.
Place
An evolution of our programs
This year, we're evolving our salon concert series to experiment with new formats, an approach we envision as immersive, art-centered experiences.
These programs build on the centuries-long tradition of salon concerts, the practice of gathering together around musical performances in the intimacy of the home. We will continue to feature concert favorites and lesser-known gems from the classical repertoire.
Upon this foundation, we're adding deeper explorations of wine, art, food, and history, shifting our attention and mindset through these cultural explorations.
The greater purpose is to engage you more deeply in art, in turn challenging, nourishing, and restoring you.
Join us for a unique experience.
