Harry Jacobs Concerts Welcomes You!
Join Us For Our 2026-2027 Concert Season!
We open our season THURSDAY OCTOBER 15, 2026 with the Augusta debut of the MODIGLIANI QUARTET. Founded is 2003, this fabulous French foursome is recognized as one of today’s most sought- after quartets, regularly performing in leading international concert series and on the world’s most prestigious stages. The Quartet brings their confident impressive style to Augusta performing works by Debussy and Beethoven, among others.
On TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2026 we welcome the MANHATTAN CHAMBER PLAYERS (MCP), a NYC-based chamber music collective of top-tier artists founded in 2015 by violist Luke Fleming. Comprised of alumni from prestigious institutions like Curtis and Juilliard, they perform a diverse repertoire. MCP is known for high-level performances and is structured as a flexible collective rather than a fixed quartet, allowing for varied repertoire.
The season continues with our Vola Jacobs Memorial Piano concert on SUNDAY FEBRUARY 28, 2027 with the incomparable TERRENCE WILSON. Acclaimed by the Baltimore Sun as “one of the biggest pianistic talents to have emerged in this country in the last 25 years” pianist Terrence Wilson has appeared as soloist with symphony orchestras all across the US and abroad and is a Grammy nominated Juilliard School graduate, recitalist and educator.
We conclude our season on SUNDAY APRIL 25, 2027 with America's premier female Brass Ensemble, the SERAPH BRASS. Now in its 12th season, Seraph Brass was founded by trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden with a mission to showcase the excellence of women brass players and highlight musicians from marginalized groups, both in personnel and in programming. Winners of the American Prize in Chamber Music, the group has been praised for their “beautiful sounds" (American Record Guide), "fine playing” (Gramophone), and “staggeringly high caliber of performance” (Textura).
All Members get treated to an exclusive Hausmusik concert and welcome back reception on Sunday, August 30, 2026 3PM in the Maxwell Theatre. This special concert and reception is for Member's Only and will feature soprano Dr. Courtney Kalbacker, with pianist Dr. Rosalyn Floyd, and special guest Jeffrey Gates, baritone. Afterwards meet the Artists and enjoy a private reception on stage at the Maxwell Theatre!
