Chamber music performances from the world’s most famous performing arts complex
Recorded live in New York's Alice Tully Hall, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center series features stellar performances. The artists of CMS, a multi-generational selection of expert chamber musicians, constitute an evolving repertory company capable of presenting chamber music of every instrumentation, style, and historical period. Performing repertoire from over three centuries, and numerous premieres by living composers, CMS offers programs curated to provide listeners a comprehensive perspective on the art of chamber music.
Mendelssohn’s Magnificence
Along with his siblings, Felix Mendelssohn began music instruction early in his life, performed his first concert at just nine years old, and composed his first symphony at fifteen.
Mozart & Stravinsky
Both composers were supreme craftsmen who wrote efficiently, composed complex yet transparent, well-balanced works, and both had keen senses of humor provoking listeners with surprises.
Czech Brilliance
The country known as Czechia today, has a long history of artistic expression, military occupation, diverse landscapes, and an overall pride in its homeland.
French Treasures
Both composers on this program — Ernest Chausson and Camille Saint-Saëns — hail from the land of instrumental color and elegance, France.
