Maverick Concerts, the oldest continuous summer chamber music festival in America, located on Maverick Road in Woodstock along the serene Catskill Mountains, has announced its summer 2023 season, which begins July 1 and continues until Sept. 10.
The 2023 performance schedule includes recurring events like Maverick Family Saturdays, Maverick Saturday evenings, and Maverick Chamber Festival Sundays. In celebration of the summer 2023 season, Maverick will host a special open house on June 3 from noon to 5 p.m.
The Maverick Concert Series in Woodstock begins with Maverick Family Saturdays on July 1. Finishing out the night, Maverick welcomes the Grammy Award-winning Pablo Ziegler Jazz Tango Trio (Ziegler, Hector Del Curto, and Claudio Ragazzi.) The virtuoso pianist featured on Astor Piazzolla’s late masterpiece Tango: Zero Hour, Ziegler has forged on in the master’s Nuevo Tango vein, evolving its blend of Argentinian tango with jazz values and modern chamber music.
Finishing out the opening weekend on July 2, Cuarteto Latinoamericano returns to Maverick, performing string quartets from three great mid-century Latin American composers: the Brazilian master Heitor Villa-Lobos and his two great Mexican contemporaries, Silvestre Revueltas and Carlos Chavez.
The Maverick Concert Series in Woodstock concludes at the end of summer, shortly after labor day on Sept. 9 and 10. Saturday will welcome Happy Traum with Cindy Cashdollar and friends for a performance. Sunday celebrates the 80th birthday of Afro-Cuban American composer and conductor Tania Leon, who will participate in a pre-concert talk, and the final concert of the series welcomes the Cassatt String Quartet and the American pianist Ursula Oppens.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the uniquely charming rustic Maverick Concerts has superb acoustics and is the ideal venue for an intimate encounter with chamber music. Maverick presents concerts by internationally renowned classical, jazz, and contemporary music ensembles from July through early September. Its founder, Hervey White, built the historic concert hall in 1916 and opened his land and hospitality to artists, musicians, and the community, and his vision is still sustained today.
