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.

Internationally acclaimed pianist Thomas Pandolfi will present a concert of the music of Frederick Chopin at Cherry Hill on Sunday, July 28th. The concert will begin at 3 PM and will be followed by a reception for attendees and the artist.

Mr. Pandolfi, a great favorite of Cherry Hill audiences, will play etudes, ballads, polonaises, nocturnes, and other works by the beloved composer. Entitled “The Language of Infinity”, the program promises to delight the audience.

Thomas Pandolfi received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees as a scholarship student at Julliard. He has received outstanding reviews from his performances all over the world, and has just returned from a concert and master class tour of China. He is the Dean of the Piano Department at Midwest University in Missouri. He has played at Cherry Hill a number of times over the past 15 years and is the most requested musician by Cherry Hill supporters.

 The July concert has been endowed in memory of Warrenton native Edwina Rooker, a friend of the former owner of Cherry Hill, Edgar Thorne, and a faithful supporter of the concert series.

Admissions will be taken at the door, with adults at $10, students at $5, and children 12 and under at no charge. The entire 1858 plantation house, located in the community of Inez on Highway 58 12 miles south of Warrenton, will be open for touring.
