Our 2017-2018 Season


Our new season combines the traditional (violinist, piano trio) with the absolutely unique (clarinet soloist, flute and marimba duo).

Lawler + Fadoul


Our thirty-sixth season opens with the engaging and illuminating duo of Lawler + Fadoul, flutist, and marimbaist. The duo offers audiences an unexpected mélange of classical virtuosity and lively commentary. Their repertoire ranges from delightful arrangements of classics to newly written pieces for their unusual instrumentation, and the concert continues our dedication to presenting unusual and appealing programs for our audience. We are thrilled to have them appear in Fairmont.

Shtrykov-Tanaka Duo

Comprised of two sensationally gifted and acclaimed virtuosi clarinetist Maksim Shtrykov and pianist Misuzu Tanaka - the Shtrykov-Tanaka Duo has been heard throughout the U.S., garnering an impressive record of instant re-engagements. Clarinet and piano duos are still rare gems on the modern concert stage despite the immense repertoire. With its innovative programming, the Duo will provide a brilliant pre-holiday concert for our series.


February 18, 2018 at 3:00 PM
Daniel Skidmore


We continue our dedication to present West Virginia artists with violinist Daniel Skidmore. Dan was raised in Morgantown where he began violin studies with Mary Wilson. In 2006 he acquired the DMA degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in violin performance. Currently Dan performs regularly as Concertmaster of the Salisbury and Winston-Salem Symphonies.

April 8, 2018 at 7:00 PM
Manhattan Piano Trio


Our season closes with the return of the Manhattan Piano Trio who thrilled our audience when they first appeared for us in 2005. Hailed by critics as "a grand departure from the usual" (News Herald), the Manhattan Piano Trio is one of the most creative, exciting, and dynamic young ensembles in America. They have performed in almost 40 states, and in venues such as Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall, and the Ravinia Festival. We are thrilled to have them back with us.

All performances are held at

St. Peter the Fisherman Church
