Please join us in 2026 at the Barn!

Please share your skills, experience and ideas as we plan and shape our 2026 season. It is true “it takes a village” and “many hands make light work”. The link below will breathe some fresh air to the spirit and depth of Walters and the singers efforts. We just stumbled upon it yesterday! Please view it.

We would like to invite you to be part of an advisory / committee. There are many moving parts to planning and implementing a season at the Barn.
We hope one or more of these aspects will interest and involve you.

1. Programming
2. Marketing
3. Fundraising
4. Assisting with the audience and performers before and during the performance
5. Videotaping and photos
6. Assisting with social media
7. Networking
8. Landscaping ideas
9. Snacks at intermission
10. Parking assistance

We would like to tap into your skills and creativity. We hope to hear back from you. Please contact me soon.

Thank you from all of us at the Surry barn.

Dear friends of music and the Barn,

We have certainly had our share of winter weather! I hope you are all well and staying warm. Here at the Barn, we have been planning an exciting 2026 season that will begin in June and run through September.

Last year, we hosted nearly 40 events—concerts, art exhibitions, and more—including a Japanese Taiko drum ensemble that performed and danced in traditional Japanese costumes.
The Surry Music Barn is unique in its international legacy. Over the years, we have been particularly strong in presenting Russian, Japanese, and Georgian music, as well as traditional repertoire from Germany, France, Italy and other countries. We also take great pride in showcasing exceptionally talented performers from more remote cultures, giving our concert offerings both range and depth.

At this time of year, we look forward to the return of milder weather, though winter has not yet fully released its hold. In the coming weeks, we will begin sharing updates with you more regularly.

We very much welcome your thoughts and ideas as we plan our 2026 season, and we look forward to keeping you informed as details come together.

Until then, please stay warm and well.

With best wishes,

�Alan

We hope you enjoyed a meaningful and joyful holiday season. We took a short break from Surry Barn—but we’re happy to share that planning for our 2026 season is underway!
We’re looking ahead to an exciting summer and would love nothing more than to welcome you back in warmer weather. At this time, we anticipate opening our 2026 season in June, with a format similar to past years—along with some wonderful surprises. We plan to feature both returning favorites and new talents from near and far.
Our upcoming season will celebrate music and the arts that move, inspire, and enrich.
In 2025, we hosted more than 40 performances and events, and we are deeply grateful for the artists, musicians, and dancers who bring life to the Barn. Our audiences are of equal importance.
Ticket sales alone never cover the cost of these performances, so as we prepare for the new season, we’ll once again invite your financial support—large or small. One step at a time.
Just as important as funding, community is another essential pillar. Planning and coordinating 30+ events takes many hands, and we truly think of you as our “village.” We’re excited to invite you to take part in a volunteer advisory committee that will help shape the season ahead.
We can’t wait to share what’s coming—and to see you again soon.
Please bring some warmth in what has been a cold winter - click on our new GoFundMe campaign!
