Featured Event

Champlain Trio


Last year we presented the Champlain Trio in our house concert, and of course the sold-out audience was so mesmerized that we decided to bring them back to Keene Valley at the acoustically excellent Keene Valley Congregational Church, so that more people can enjoy them. This is a perfect way for EBFA to culminate our summer-fall season!
