SPIRITUS is an exciting new chamber music initiative that seeks to bring a vibrant and engaging artistic experience to Long Island. The Latin name “spiritus” means “breath” or “spirit,” and this emphasis on “life-giving” is reflected in our dynamic programming, creative presentation, and passion for high-quality performance. Comprised of young professional classical musicians from around the world, our mission is to bring world-class chamber music performances to the StonyBrook and Setauket communities. 

​​

​

We are curating a week-long celebration of chamber music from June 24-29, 2025, with programs centered around the theme “Tales of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.” The week will usher in an exploration into storytelling through music in conjunction with the vitality and warmth of early summer. We have secured a lineup of internationally acclaimed performers, and will be performing in venues such as the Long Island Museum and Setauket Presbyterian Church.

We are actively seeking to raise awareness of our mission, and to spread the word about SPIRITUS!
