The Gilmore Music Library is excited to present the second annual Miles Hoffman Concert, honoring the memory of noted violist and public radio commentator, Miles Hoffman ’73. The concert series is possible thanks to the generosity of Dr. Jeffrey Ravetch, ’73, classmate and friend of Hoffman. This year’s concert will feature a variety of selections exploring early examples of chamber music and looking at how the idea of some kinds of “chamber music” grew in other directions. The concert takes place in the Beinecke Library on April 10, 2025 at 4:00. A reception will follow.
