The 5th edition of ClassicalValley kicks off with a celebratory concert featuring Schubert’s Cello Quintet in the intimate setting of Tantalus Vineyards.

Schubert’s great Cello Quintet – so named because of the addition of a second cello to the standard string quartet – is an extraordinary piece of music. It captures the sublime in a way only Schubert could, with his music’s singing melodies, bubbling textures, and “heavenly length” (the quintet is almost an hour long - a true musical journey!).

After Schubert, stay with us for a celebratory reception with light charcuterie in the company of our artists, as the cellists switch out Schubert for the chill vibes of Bossa Nova.

Tantalus has remained one of ClassicalValley’s favourite venues. We love the “up close and personal” experience of performing in their tasting room, not to mention their delicious wines and the stunning views of the Valley at sunset.
