The National Chamber Ensemble open’s the 2019-2020 Season presenting the favorite orchestral works by the musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, scaled down and “re-imagined” in an intimate version for a chamber ensemble, featuring the Overture to Marriage of Figaro, Piano Concerto No.23 (with piano virtuoso Carlos Cesar Rodriguez) and the great Symphony No. 40 in G Minor.

2019-2020 Season entitled “The Classics Re-imagined” revisits the masterworks that have rightfully earned their status as highlights of the classical repertoire and will inject a fresh perspective, breathing new life into long-loved pieces. NCE continues to distinguish itself by inviting acclaimed international figures to perform and host alongside us as they share in our humor, anecdotes and experiences to enrich the intimate atmosphere of our performances. “The Classics Re-imagined” promises to delight newcomers and connoisseurs alike.

If you’ve started a business within the last year, you know how easy it is to get overwhelmed by the financial aspects. From choosing the right accounting software, to setting up your service agreements, to paying your quarterly tax estimates, there are so many big decisions you make up front that can affect the long-term health of your business. Unless you have a formal business or finance background, handling all the details can be rather intimidating.

Start-Up with Financial Success is just what you need!

This 1-day in-person workshop will cover the basics of financial management for small businesses and give you the tools you need to set up healthy habits from the start.

Unlike other workshops that only focus on one financial discipline, this workshop is led by 5 experts in different aspects of financial management: Business Law, Bookkeeping, Taxes, Accounting and Business Operations.
