Presented by Duke Arts Presents
Chamber Arts Series
The Castalian String Quartet has made the difficult decision to disband and will no longer be able to appear on next season’s Chamber Arts Series. While we are disappointed to lose their performance, we are actively securing a replacement ensemble of comparable stature and will share updates as soon as we are able.
New subscribers and existing ticket holders will automatically retain their seats/tickets for the replacement event. Once the new artists have been announced, ticket holders will have the opportunity to transfer tickets to another performance or request a refund.
Thank you for your patience and support as we arrange an alternate performer. If you have any questions, our box office team is here to help.
