A Busy Summer for Dining Events and Concerts

Our busy summer continues to keep us on our toes. Chef Parks, head waiter Bob Leavitt and the rest of the staff were in high gear this weekend as we hosted an elegant wedding rehearsal dinner on Saturday, followed by a gala dinner for friends of the Yellow Barn Music School and Summer Festival and a private dinner for 25 business guests in the Tavern on the same evening.

Yellow Barn’s artistic director Seth Knopp

and cast conducted rehearsals at The Four Columns leading to the final dinner Saturday evening with a comedic musical and dramatic ensemble performance. A heavy downpour didn’t dampen the spirits of the 60 attendees for this event

Yellow Barn is a chamber music professional training program and concert presenter founded in Putney, Vermont in 1969 by cellist, David Wells. Since 1998 the festival has flourished under the artistic leadership of Peabody Trio founding pianist Seth Knopp. Yellow Barn summer concerts are performed by students and accomplished musicians from around the globe.

We are fortunate to have two world class summer chamber music festivals within minutes of the Four Columns. The Marlboro Music Festival is also attended by many of our guests and was reviewed by The New York Times as a place where, '...extraordinary rising stars and musical legends play side by side'.
