Close Encounters Lineup

Close Encounters

Chamber music at its intimate best

Close Encounters celebrates the special intimacy between audience, artists, and music. With each event, you’ll enjoy an evening of live chamber music in a warm, welcoming setting—complete with a light buffet, wine, and the rare opportunity to connect directly with the musicians and fellow music lovers. This is chamber music at its most personal and inviting.


April 19 tickets will be available for purchase early spring!

The Intimacy, the Artistry

When little comes between you and the music

It's all up close and personal as you sit and enjoy the music. There really is little that comes between you, the artists, and the music! The intimacy of the venue, the closeness of the performing artists, the camaraderie and the light buffet of delectable delights, included with the price of your ticket, make for a truly memorable experience.

THE FIRST CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE
2025-2026 SEASON WAS A SUCCESS

The Guiding Light

SUNDAY ✷ OCTOBER 5 ✷ 3 PM
Seddon Recital Hall ✷ University of the Incarnate Word

This October, we welcomed back the founder of Cactus Pear Music Festival violinist Stephanie Sant'Ambrogio in a duo recital with CPMF Artistic Director Jeffrey Sykes on piano. As CPMF’s guiding light, Stephanie has illuminated our stage with her artistry and vision for almost three decades, often with Jeffrey by her side. Together, they performed a sparkling program of three sonatas spanning three centuries, chamber music that is equal parts joy, daring, and brilliance with works by Beethoven, Dvořák, and Poulenc.
