Classical Concert
April 19, 2024 | 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
…with Organist Tim Evers and the Faith Wasson Flute Studio Ensemble.
Stoneleigh: a natural garden and Media Arts Council (MAC) are excited to partner for opening night of the MAC Classical Festival & Academy.
Residence organs, like Stoneleigh’s magnificent 1931 Aeolian-Skinner, offered in-home entertainment for those who could afford them. This program will include repertoire that would have been played on this organ in the 1930’s, as well as timeless favorites. Friday night’s featured performer and master class instructor is Tim Evers, director of music at Westminster Presbyterian in West Chester. The student ensemble is made up of players from the Faith Wasson Flute Studio in Glenside.
This three-day festival brings together professional musicians and selected high school ensembles from around Pennsylvania for a master class during the day and a joint performance in the evening. This event gives students a chance to learn and grow from experienced professionals while performing in a setting outside of their schools and allows audiences to gather a deeper understanding of music in a relaxed and open atmosphere.

For nearly 80 years, Stoneleigh was the home of the Haas family, which donated the property to Natural Lands in 2016 so that it would remain preserved forever.
The property includes stately trees, winding pathways, and lush gardens that were designed by a number of notable landscape architects over the past century—including the Olmsted Brothers, sons of the famed Frederick Law Olmsted.
