The Morris Museum is pleased to announce that the Azure Ensemble, a chamber music group based out of New York City, will perform a classical music program inspired by the French Impressionist period at the Bickford Theatre on Sunday, October 30 at 2:00PM.

The Azure Ensemble is one of New York City's most exciting new chamber music groups. Known for its varied and notable repertoire, the ensemble draws its members from the finest musicians in the New York area.
