Dear ECHO Community,
For many years, the ECHO Chamber Music Series has brought extraordinary artists and unforgettable performances to our community. Thanks to the remarkable generosity of the Ersan family, audiences have experienced world-class chamber music right here at Cuyamaca College, and we are deeply grateful for their enduring support and commitment to the arts.
As we look ahead to the coming season, the ECHO Chamber Music Series enters a new chapter and will transition to a single premier concert.
On Tuesday, May 25, 2027, we’re excited to welcome internationally-acclaimed violinist James Ehnes and pianist Orion Weiss for a special ECHO performance in the Samuel M. Ciccati Performing Arts Center. This exceptional concert is made possible through the continued generosity of Lyndie Ersan, and we hope you’ll join us for what promises to be an unforgettable evening.
Reserved seating tickets are $50. Click here to purchase tickets for the May performance.
If you have already purchased the full ECHO series season subscription and have not yet heard from us, please contact cuyamaca.music@gcccd.edu so we can assist you with your refund.
As part of this new chapter, we’re also introducing Cuyamaca+, a new multi-concert series that includes the James Ehnes and Orion Weiss performance along with 20+ additional concerts presented by Cuyamaca College. A Cuyamaca+ subscription is $250 ($500+ in value!) and offers an expanded season of outstanding musical performances, including:
Nuvi Mehta and Jessie Chang (September 24)
Danny Green Trio (December 10)
Guest lectures by jazz legends Marshall Hawkins (October 8) and Charles McPherson (February 25)
San Diego Baroque Soloists (April 15)
Ines Irawati (April 22)
And many more!
Thank you for your continued support of the ECHO Chamber Music Series and of music at Cuyamaca College. ECHO has always been about providing access to exceptional music, but even more importantly, it has fostered a community of listeners who value this art form and the shared experiences it creates. That community remains at the heart of everything we do.
We look forward to welcoming you this season as we celebrate this next chapter together.
With gratitude,
The ECHO Team
