WHAT IS CHAMBER MUSIC? Chamber Music America defines chamber music as
"music written for small ensembles, whose members generally perform one
to a part without a conductor." At the heart of chamber music lies the spirit
of collaboration and the role of the individual performer. Chamber music
places the highest order of responsibility upon the individual to engage in a
close musical dialogue with the other performers. As a collaborative
expression, chamber music relies upon the collective musical instincts,
experience, knowledge and talents of its participants to guide the process of
interpreting, rehearsing and performing a composer's creation. Historically, chamber music has referred to
Western classical music written for small ensembles such as the string
quartet. Today, however, many different kinds of musical styles and ensembles
thrive in the diverse world that is chamber music. _____________________________________________________________________ There
is no official reserved seating. What
should I wear ? Wear whatever you feel is
appropriate. You will see dress ranging from formal suits to very
casual. When
should I applaud ? The musicians usually perform two pieces
prior to intermission and one afterward. Each piece consists of
movements and these will all be listed in the program. It is
appropriate to not applaud between movements, but rather wait to show
your appreciation by applauding at the end of the piece. How
long does the concert last ? Usually not long enough
for chamber music fans! The concerts are normally over at 10:00 or so.
There are security officers on the premises during the entire concert. _____________________________________________________________________ |
