Clarinetist and Eastern North Carolina native Dr. Chadwick Thomas announces the launch of Crystal Coast Chamber Music, a new chamber music series based in Emerald Isle. Through this series, Thomas aims to expand opportunities to hear live classical music along the North Carolina coast and to share his passion for chamber music with the community.

This inaugural concert will feature Thomas in a clarinet and piano recital with pianist Dr. Yujin Lee, a member of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra and an acclaimed chamber musician. The program includes works by Aaron Copland, Francis Poulenc, André Messager, and others.

The performance will take place Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. at Emerald Isle Baptist Church. Full details about the concert and artists are available at www.crystalcoastchambermusic.org.
