LETTER TO MEMBERS
from Quentin Kuyper & Linda Banister Harry Jacobs was a fine musician. We feel privileged to have known him,
albeit for too short a time. As a
professional-level performer, inveterate teacher, and musical entrepreneur,
he directly influenced the beginnings of much of the flourishing arts community
of Those foresighted founders created an organization
with a long-term mission to bring nationally and internationally acclaimed
chamber music to the area at an affordable price, and it has succeeded
admirably. The musicians and ensembles
who have performed for us include many who have gone on to be important names
in music. Our memories of their
performances will always be with us. We would like to thank the Society for
giving us the opportunity to help plan the future of the series. As we shoulder some of the responsibilities
for organizing this year and planning for next year we face two significant
challenges: maintaining both the
quality of the performances and the financial health of the Society. Those challenges are both affected
negatively by the current economic climate of the times, but we are confident
that with your assistance and support we can succeed on both accounts. “Chamber Music” can be many things. String quartets, piano trios, and other
similar ensembles can sustain us esthetically for a long time, and we expect
to continue to engage the best of these groups that we can afford. We also expect to continue the pattern
already established of having at least one concert per season to include an
ensemble that expands these musical boundaries. Harry, with his wide range of interests,
would love that. This twentieth season of the Harry
Jacobs Chamber Music Series has great variety and award-winning
ensembles. Enjoy the concerts, bring
your friends, and tell everyone about Harry and his enduring contribution in
our area. Your membership, attendance,
and support will help to perpetuate the Society’s tradition of great chamber
music experiences. |

(706) 833-2435 WHAT IS CHAMBER MUSIC? Chamber
Music 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.
