We present unusual works, works by living composers, unusual instrumentations, and utilize the talent available in Connecticut!!! Most performers are from Connecticut with perhaps a few from western Mass (who have strong ties to CT). A win/win situation is created as we help create a cultural corridor in Connecticut in partnership with its local "gems" of small museums and attractions. If you know of, or represent a museum or historical attraction in Connecticut and are interested in having us extend our series to your venue...please use our contact information to let us know about you.

As of January 1, 2003 ; BLACKLEDGEMUSIC, Inc. has been actively executing small chamber music concerts at a number of  Connecticut area museums  and attractions.    EXCITING NEWS ABOUT OUR INCREASING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NEW BRITAIN MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART!  We will be presenting a number of programs including a world premier at NBMAA  the spring, summer and fall of 2006!!!
