Southborough Salon Series: Mozart’s Grand Partita and Dvorak’s Serenade.  

We are absolutely delighted to partner with the Claflin Hall Symphony Orchestra to launch what we hope will become a cherished tradition — the Southborough Salon Series, presented three times each year.

Our first concert features a 16-piece “wind serenade” program anchored by two beloved masterpieces of the chamber repertoire: Mozart’s radiant Gran Partita and Dvořák’s joyful Serenade for Winds. Mozart’s Gran Partita (K.361) is a luminous and spirited work from his creative prime, blending graceful elegance with heartfelt lyricism — a perfect showcase for the expressive colors of a wind ensemble. Dvořák’s Serenade, written more than a century later, captures the warmth and optimism of his Bohemian roots, filled with dance-inspired rhythms and folk-tinged melodies. Together, these works embody the blend of intimacy and grandeur that makes wind music so captivating.

Even more special, this concert marks the long-awaited return of live music to the historic Fayville Village Hall — for the first time in more than sixty years. We’re thrilled to celebrate both timeless repertoire and the renewal of a beloved local gathering place for art, community, and connection.
