All concerts will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday.  Tickets are available at $42 per person or $120 for a subscription to all three concerts.  This price includes entrance to the park.  These concerts have been sold out in the past so reservations are recommended.  Reservations may be made by calling (646) 257-0003 or emailing rcc@rccnaples.org.

                       

BACKGROUND

 

The venue honors the Koreshan Unity Settlement which considered art and music an integral part of their lives.  The Art Hall was built circa 1905.  Gutshtein became interested in developing a cultural center there and, following reconstruction of the facility, she brought a New York architect to the Hall to ensure that it would provide the proper acoustics for chamber music.

 

It is the goal of Gutshtein and Sandler to make a lasting impact on the cultural life of Estero as well as make Estero an important cultural destination in Florida.

These concert series provide the cultural environment envisioned by the Koreshans for the enjoyment of the residents and visitors of today
