GV Piano Chamber Series
BrahmsFest
We are excited to present BrahmsFest in our inaugural year of the GV Piano Chamber Series!
ALL of Brahms’ chamber music work written for piano and other instruments will be presented through six programs this year - both at GVSU’s Haas Center for Performing Arts and several off-campus locations. Check out the schedule below and choose which performances you’d like to attend. Concerts are free and open to the public, so spread the word!
