During the very successful inaugural concert of the Middleburg Concert Series in March the audience rose twice during the performance for standing ovations. One audience member remarked that it was thrilling to enjoy Kennedy Center level talent without fighting traffic on I66 or purchasing expensive tickets.

On Sunday, June 14th, at 4:00 PM, the Concert Series again returns to the sanctuary of the Middleburg United Methodist Church, located on the corner of Washington and Pendleton Streets, to present a journey through vocal chamber music. The goal of the Middleburg Concert Series is to provide an opportunity for area residents and visitors to enjoy virtuoso performances and to foster a love for the arts in historic Middleburg.

Performers will include vocalists such as nationally known tenor, Michael Forest who has sung numerous roles with the Metropolitan Opera for 17 seasons. Mr. Forest has also sung at concerts with the National Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony, New York Philharmonic and the St. Louis Symphony. The concert will include selections sung by Miho Sato de Saucedo and local musician, Karen Chase. Once again the accomplished cello musician Dr. Alan Saucedo, will perform with his sister Cynthia Saucedo and Dr. Maryory Serrano on the violin. Larry Correll will return to perform selections on the organ and piano. Admission is by free will offering with light refreshments served following the concert.
