Almost every classical instrumentalist is required to take part in chamber music at some point in each degree program. Over 100 chamber ensembles of varying size and instrumentation are formed each semester. The chamber music faculty includes many of the School’s most experienced chamber musicians, including current or former members of the American, Brentano, Juilliard, Mendelssohn, Orion and Tokyo string quartets, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, among others. Our resident ensembles, American String Quartet and Windscape, also coach and give seasonal performances. Masterclasses given by distinguished artists are available to chamber groups by audition or nomination from the chamber music faculty. In addition to more traditional ensembles, Baroque Aria Ensemble is offered in fulfillment of one semester of instrumental chamber music. Pianists may earn chamber music credit from participation in standard chamber groups or two-piano teams. Other options for pianists include participation in the following chamber music classes: the Instrumental Accompanying Class (IAC), vocal accompanying classes including Russian Romances and Ballads and Songs of the Romantic Period, and Approaches to Chamber Music for Piano and Strings.

  • Chamber Music Festival of Lexington Merges with Lexington Chamber Orchestra Distinct Offerings and Programs Will Continue Under Shared Governance and Administration
    PRESS RELEASE - For Immediate Release Contact: Gregory Pettit – President [email protected] | 917-450-6267 Chamber Music Festival of Lexington Merges with Lexington Chamber Orchestra Distinct Offerings and Programs will Continue Under Shared Governance and Administration May 21, 2019- LEXINGTON, KY – The Chamber Music Festival of Lexington and the Lexington Chamber Orchestra today announced the merger of the two non-profit performing arts organizations that serve Lexington and Cen- tral Kentucky. Going forward, both organizations will be governed by a new Board of Directors comprising exist- ing Chamber Festival board members and musicians of the Chamber Festival of Lexington. Both organizations will continue to operate as two distinct performing arts organizations with their own seasons, musicians and artistic direction, but with shared governance, management and with a common 501(c)(3) designation. Nathan Cole and Jan Pellant will continue their roles as musical directors of the Chamber Music Festival of Lexington and of the Lexington Chamber Orchestra, respectively. Gregory Pettit, President of the Chamber Music Festival of Lexington, observed, “These two organizations have distinct brands and roles in our musical community. For over a dozen years, The Chamber Music Festival of Lex- ington has brought world class musicians to the Bluegrass for 10 days in August for formal concerts and infor- mal, free performances for the public and thousands of schoolchildren. The Lexington Chamber Orchestra has for the last four years produced a year-round season performed by local musicians, with a “name your ticket price” admissions policy. They will both continue their respective seasons as before. However, we share a commitment to excellence and accessibility for the chamber music genre.

The society raised money to provide pensions to widows and orphans of Viennese musicians. Its concerts were regular occurrences on the Viennese social calendar and Mozart composed and performed for them, even though he was not a member, something he would regret right before his death at the age of 35. This quintet premiered at a society concert on December 22, 1789, in between two halves of a cantata by Vincenzo Righini. The clarinetist was Anton Stadler, one of the first virtuosos on the instrument and Mozart’s close personal friend. Mozart wrote all of his major clarinet works— this one, the Kegelstatt Trio, and the Clarinet Concerto—with Stadler’s playing in mind. Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center The clarinet was a relatively new instrument in Mozart’s day yet he expertly tapped into the instrument’s unique singing quality.

  • Guide to Repertoire
    Guide to Repertoire The chamber music repertoire is both wonderful and almost endless. Some have better grips on it than others, but all who are responsible for what the public hears need to know the landscape of the art form in an overall way, with at least a basic awareness of its details. At the end of the day, it is the music itself that is the substance of the work of both the performer and presenter. Knowing the basics of the repertoire will empower anyone who presents concerts. Here is a run-down of the meat-and-potatoes of the chamber literature, organized by instrumentation, with some historical context. Chamber music ensembles can be most simple divided into five groups: those with piano, those with strings, wind ensembles, mixed ensembles (winds plus strings and sometimes piano), and piano ensembles. Note: The listings below barely scratch the surface of repertoire available for all types of ensembles. The Major Ensembles with Piano The Duo Sonata (piano with one violin, viola, cello or wind instrument) Duo repertoire is generally categorized as either a true duo sonata (solo instrument and piano are equal partners) or as a soloist and accompanist ensemble. For our purposes here we are only discussing the former. Duo sonatas have existed since the Baroque era, and Johann Sebastian Bach has many examples, all with “continuo” accompaniment that comprises full partnership. His violin sonatas, especially, are treasures, and can be performed equally effectively with harpsichord, fortepiano or modern piano. Haydn continued to develop the genre; Mozart wrote an enormous number of violin sonatas (mostly for himself to play as he was a professional-level violinist as well).
