Spring Concert Series

Ruthmere's  SPRING Concert Series is back! Due to the popularity of our Fall Concert Series, Ruthmere's Concert Committee has developed an all-new series of concerts to keep the music flowing all year long. 


The 2024 Spring Concert series will consist of four concerts: two in May and two in June. These concerts, each performed by acclaimed musicians, help Ruthmere to reach its mission in supporting fine art and culture in Elkhart.
