2025 Berkshire Music Salons
”Berkshire Salons: A Year of Musical Celebration
"Berkshire Salons" invites you to experience a unique musical celebration throughout 2025, highlighting the joy of beautiful songs in intimate settings. This series of themed events will unfold in private homes, historic cottages, and charming venues, honoring Ron Ramsay's dear friend, Stephanie Barber. As the owner of Wheatleigh and the visionary founder of Music Inn, Stephanie has brought together diverse musical genres, reflecting her commitment to inclusivity across cultures and communities.
In her early 60s, Stephanie encounters a young, talented teenager reminiscent of a modern-day Eliza Doolittle. Together, they create a captivating atmosphere, enchanting audiences with songs from Piaf, Weill, Lehár, Townsend, and Elton John. Stephanie, adorned with exquisite hats, leads the charge as her young counterpart absorbs the magic of each performance.
Ron Ramsay, renowned for his artistry, will showcase his talents in tribute to Stephanie during this series. The inaugural concert kicks off in February 2024 at the historic Lenox Library in Lenox, MA, marking the beginning of a year filled with musical enchantment.
As the series progresses, concerts will be hosted at various Gilded Age Mansions—often referred to as Cottages—throughout the Berkshires. Each event will celebrate the legacy of composers who once graced these estates while intertwining their music with contemporary hits performed by Ron and his accomplished composer friends.
Further details regarding dates and times will be shared in January 2025. Join us for an extraordinary journey through music that transcends generations and unites us all.
