2026 Four Seasons in Music - Song for Autumn

In 2026, the acclaimed chamber music series Four Seasons in Music celebrates its eighth season under the inspired direction of Artistic Director Kathryn Lockwood. Set amidst the breathtaking beauty of The Preserve’s historic Hempstead House, Castle Gould, and picturesque waterfront grounds, this distinctive series presents four seasonal concerts. Each performance weaves together music and poetry, inviting audiences to connect deeply and reflect meaningfully throughout the year.

The Preserve’s ensemble-in-residence duoJalal (Kathryn Lockwood and Yousif Sheronick) is joined by a rotating roster of internationally celebrated musicians. Together, they deliver dynamic performances spanning classical masterworks by Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart to works by today’s globally diverse composers. Each concert concludes with a themed reception, inviting guests to mingle with the artists and fellow music lovers in an atmosphere of warmth and community.

This Series is made possible through the generous support of Anne and Vincent Mai.

As autumn gathers around us and the year begins to fade, Song for Autumn offers an afternoon of chamber music shaped by journeys across borders, memories carried across generations, and the search for a place to belong.  Through music born of migration and transformation, voices from different cultures meet in an intimate conversation—between homeland and elsewhere, tradition and reinvention, remembrance and hope. Like the changing season itself, the program reflects on what we carry with us, what we leave behind, and what emerges along the way.  In the quiet beauty of autumn, Song for Autumn invites us to pause, listen, and journey through the many landscapes of the human heart.
