Following February’s sold-out concert at Newport Art Museum, the Puddingstone music series continues its 2025 season in March and April with two new concerts.

On Sunday, March 9, at 3 p.m., “Très Doux” will perform at Belmont Chapel. Featuring the esteemed Sheffield Chamber Players, the concert will showcase two exquisite quartets: Beethoven's String Quartet No. 5 in A Major (Op. 18) and Maurice Ravel's String Quartet in F Major.

Both works are early masterpieces from their respective composers, offering a glimpse into the development of their distinctive styles. Beethoven's Op. 18 No. 5 is vibrant, full of energy and classical elegance, while Ravel's String Quartet, composed in his youth, is a stunning blend of impressionism and innovative textures, revealing his emerging voice.

A cash bar and small bites are included in the ticket price. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. Parking is available on the Island Cemetery grounds; enter through Warner Street.

The next concert will be Saturday, April 26, at 6:30 p.m., with “Celli à Deux” at Rough Point.
