Founded by acclaimed American soprano Ilana Davidson, the Serenata Chamber Series in Upper Nyack has enriched our cultural landscape with its world-class presentations for two seasons. Ms. Davidson's illustrious international singing career, which includes Grammy-winning recordings, lends unparalleled prestige to this series with its cultural planning and the world’s most sought-after artists.
Our exceptional performances are hosted at the historic Old Stone Meeting House in Upper Nyack, transforming the expanse of a large concert hall into an exquisite, intimate musical experience that electrifies our audiences. Your presence in our mission helps us continue to make Nyack an elite cultural center by bringing the expertise of Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to our very own town.
Our yearly initiatives include the expense of bringing three concerts a year to our community. We invite the finest musicians in the world and the kind of musicians who connect personally with our audience and elevate each concert with their grace, expertise, and knowledge. This, we know, is what makes Serenata unique! In addition, we strive to make our programs environmentally friendly and provide our audience with easy-to-access technology for ticketing and access to streaming. Our future goals include tangible outcomes for additional performances, educational workshops, and bringing rare instruments to our venue.
