For our exciting ninth chamber music festival coming in June, we gave ten world-class musicians carte blanche to design their own concert program. In asking them to serve as “curators,” our only prompt was to choose one of history’s great visual artists as their inspiration. The amazing results provide a glimpse into how virtuoso musicians think about music. The music is from every era, in every style, for every size ensemble; its inclusion was directly inspired by icons of visual art, from the 15th Century to the 21st. Come listen. We’re confident that you’ll not only enjoy riveting chamber works, but also understand more about the art of music… through “the music of art.”
