WHAT IS TERTULIA?
A chamber music series that presents concerts in unique atmospheres, such as restaurants and art galleries. Tertulia has an atmosphere that combines lively conversation and dining with the opportunity to hear the greatest performers of our time.
Tertulias are dinner-concerts, with two performances separated by extended intermissions. During performances restaurant service is suspended and conversation stops.
Tertulia is designed to attract new and experienced audiences alike, or anyone who loves incredible food and music. The format and program is designed to enhance the social and culinary experience, but at Tertulia, the music is paramount.
Our Mission
Tertulia places chamber music back where it belongs - in a festive, inviting atmosphere. Our mission is to reveal the communicative, intimate and inspiring realm of chamber music. From audiences who are curious to discover a new passion, to those who seek a different perspective on the art form they already love, or to those who are simply looking for an evening in the company of close friends, delicious food and great music - Tertulia has it all. At Tertulia, we believe incredible food and world-class chamber music, together, are the perfect recipe for engaging today's classical music audiences.
