Music At Kohl Mansion

What an incredible find. Came here on 2÷26÷12 for the Cypress String Quartet performance and I was blown away.
About once a month, Kohl Mansion hosts musical performances (chamber concerts) in the Great Hall, a very intimate setting nothing like a symphony hall. Think of a Victorian era sitting room/​parlour with a gloriously high ceiling and this is what you get — musicians on a slightly raised stage in front of a (non-​operational) fireplace, and just several rows of seats surrounding the stage on 3 sides. I felt like I was enjoying my favorite Beethoven string quartet in a Beauty-​and-​the-​Beast setting. You know what I’m talking about — that scene with the Beast sitting in front of the fireplace w/​the doggy footrest?
Concert performances start at 7pm, but their resident musicologist, Kai Christiansen, gives a pre-​concert talk at 6pm.
If you are under 30, you are really in for a treat in the form of a generous discount — their «Gen Y & Z» discount tickets are only $ 15, compared to $ 45 for adult and $ 42 for senior tickets. To my fellow under-​30 Unilocalers… get on this before you make it over the 30+ hill!
The parking lot fills to capacity with concert-​goers so I recommend arriving no later than 6:30pm to ensure you get a parking spot.
Complimentary refreshments are served after the concert — e.g. wine, cheese, charcuterie, fruit & other finger foods. One of the best refreshment spreads I’ve ever seen to be honest… without sounding too gluttonous. ;) You can meet and mingle with the musicians at this post-​concert reception.
So glad I found this place. Can’t wait to be back in the coming months.
