PPA Presents: Fandango!

Sunday March 15, 2026 3-5 pm

“Fandango’s unique and very beautiful blend of instruments exceeded my expectations. Our audience loved them. It was one of the best attended classical shows we’ve presented in a long time.

(Gila Valley Arts Council- Arizona)

 

One of the most exciting groups on Chicago’s musical scene, FANDANGO! is a toe-tappingly spicy mix of classical, Latin, Spanish, Sephardic, and Balkan sounds founded by four multi-award-winning, globe-trotting virtuosi who hail from Spain, France, Bosnia, and Taiwan, and who have played, separately and together, on the world’s most prestigious stages.

PPA Presents: The Double Trouble Reed Company

Tuesday, March 17, 2026 - 7:00 PM PST

Join us for a fun concert that will leave you smiling and your toes tapping!


The Double Trouble Reed Company is Dr. Paul Mori & Malachi Bryson on bassoons, with surprise guest appearances by local musicians.


Back by popular demand! The question we asked back in March of 2023 is no longer valid: “When’s the last time you went to a concert that featured a bassoon? How about TWO bassoons?” Now we’re asking: “When is the last time you went to a concert featuring not one, two or three bassoons, but FOUR bassoons?” And, there’s more! What if one of them happens to be a contrabassoon, with a range so low that it will rattle your rib cage?


We promise that Peter Bunn and the Sorcerer’s Apprentice will be perfectly delightful alongside selection from the standard repertoire. And how could be resist a tun or two from the Emerald Isle in honor of St Patrick’s Day?


Tickets will also be available at the door. Students 18 and under are FREE! Support the arts, bring a friend, and get ready for a fun evening!

PPA Presents: Borromeo & Verona String Octet

Sunday April 19, 2026 3-5 pm

Borromeo – “A musical experience of luminous beauty” (The San Diego Reader)

Verona – “An Outstanding Ensemble” (The New York Times)


What’s better than seeing either of these world-class string quartets live? Seeing them both as an Octet! This amazing combination is a not-to-be-missed performance. The Verona Quartet is acclaimed for its bold interpretive strength and electrifying performances. Their album SHATTER debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard Traditional Classical Charts.


“Nothing less than masterful” (Cleveland.com), the Borromeo Quartet has received numerous awards throughout its illustrious career, including Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Career Grant and Martin E. Segal Award, and Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award.
