Musicians Emergency Fund Concert in Celebration of National Chamber Music Month
NEW YORK, NEW YORK (April 14, 2014) Musicians Emergency Fund will present a concert in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center on Saturday, May 17, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. in celebration of National Chamber Music Month, a nationwide initiative to draw attention to small ensemble performance.
Musicians Emergency Fund's concert is one of hundreds taking place across the country this May as part of this second annual series. Last year, participants in all fifty states took part in events showcasing ensemble music of all styles, including classical, jazz, world, and early music, as well as contemporary and experimental works informed by emerging technologies and innovative performance techniques.
Chamber Music America, the national network of ensemble music professionals and the organization behind National Chamber Music Month, has encouraged ensembles and presenters, both well-known and emerging, to utilize this month to increase public awareness of chamber music performance and to attract new audiences within their own communities.
Musicians Emergency Fund will present another in its long-running series of Junior/Senior Concerts, so named because they bring established, professional musicians together in ensemble with gifted members of the up-and-coming generation. The program will feature Dmitri Shostakovich’s Sonata in D minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 40; Daichovo Horo, a traditional Bulgarian dance (arranged by Nicholas Canellakis); Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto in G minor for Two Cellos, RV 531; Jean-Baptiste Barrière’s Sonata in G Major for Two Cellos; Antonín Dvorák’s Silent Woods, Op. 68, No. 5; David Popper’s Hungarian Rhapsody, Op. 68; and Johannes Brahms’ Piano Trio No. 1 in B Major, Op. 8.
Chamber Music America defines chamber music as works for small ensembles of 2–10 members, playing one to a part and generally performing without a conductor.
“Chamber music is a vibrant and diverse field,” said Margaret M. Lioi, CEO of Chamber Music America. “It includes contemporary music, jazz, world music, Western classical, and styles that draw from all of these. National Chamber Music Month will showcase the richness of chamber music through performances in urban and rural areas across the country, and we are thrilled that so many presenters and ensembles are participating.”
Tickets: Admission: $25; senior citizens, students, and military personnel: free admission by showing valid ID at the Alice Tully Hall box office, starting at 10:00 a.m. on the day of the concert.
