Join us for a Mother’s Day celebration with intimate chamber music by members of Kennett Symphony’s String Quartet in the beautiful Copeland Lecture Hall at Winterthur. 

This year’s program will include Lyric Quartette by William Grant Still, one of the most important African American composers of the 20th century. Composed in 1960, this work reflects three of Still’s friends, characterized as The Sentimental One, The Quiet One, and The Jovial One. Also featured is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s String Quartet No. 14 in G major, often referred to as the Spring Quartet due to its warm and sunny nature. Composed in 1782, this beloved quartet will fill the hall with its lively and elegant movements.

Attendees may pay an additional $10 for admission to Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library – including 90,000 objects in the 175-room mansion Henry Francis du Pont called home, 1,000 acres of rolling hills, streams, meadows, and forests, as well as a research center dedicated to America’s artistic, cultural, social, and intellectual history from colonial times into the twentieth century.

Performance tickets are $25. Please note that tickets will be sold through Winterthur’s website, in 2025!
