Cherry Hill Plantation

Cherry Hill, built in 1858, is the home of the Cherry Hill Historical Foundation and the venue for several classical music concerts each year. Concerts are open to the public for a nominal donation of $10.00 per adult, $5.00 per student, and children 12 and under are free. Concerts are held on Sunday afternoons in the spring and fall. Pianists, violinists, vocalists, and artists with other musical talents perform in the old world tradition of using private homes rather than concert halls. A magnificent concert grand graces the spacious entry hall and is the focal point for each performance. Refreshments are served following the event, and the artists visit with their audience in the dining room and parlors of the plantation house. A Handicap lift is provided in the back of the house for those who need to use it.

This historic property is located in the Inez community of Warren County, North Carolina, approximately 1 hour north of Raleigh.

PIANO TRIO TO PERFORM AT CHERRY HILL

Posted on: March 19th, 2025

The Neave Piano Trio will perform at Cherry Hill on Sunday, March 23rd. The program will begin at 3:00, and a reception will be held in the dining room and parlors of the 1858 plantation house after the performance.

Formed in 2010, the Neave Trio has earned enormous praise for its engaging, cutting-edge performances. The word “Neave” is Gaelic for “bright” and “radiant”, both of which apply to the trio’s music making, according to several music critics. The group consists of violinist Anna Williams, cellist Mikhail Veselov, and pianist Eri Nakamura and has performed at many prominent concert series and festivals worldwide. They have played at the Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and numerous esteemed venues. They have held residency positions at Brown University, the University of Virginia, Bard College, and at Virginia Commonwealth University,

Sunday’s program will include David Ludwig’s “Three Yiddish Dances”, Bedrich Smetana’s Piano Trio No. 1 in G minor, and the Shostakovich Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor. Admissions will be taken at the door with adults at $10, students at $5, and children 12 and under admitted at no charge.

Begun in 1982 by Warren County resident Edgar Thorne, the Cherry Hill Concert Series takes place in the 1858 plantation home of the George Washington Alston family. The home has been carefully preserved by the original family descendants and the Cherry Hill Historical Foundation and will be open for touring after the concert.
