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.

BLACKLEDGEMUSIC, Inc. has been actively executing small chamber music concerts at a number of  Connecticut area museums and attractions since January 1, 2003 .  Look for us at the New Britain Museum of American Art; The Carousel Museum, and The Goff House in the 2008-2009 Season!
