American Masterpieces Chamber National Calendar June 2008–October 2009

ince late spring 2008, when the National Endowment for the

Arts announced the first round of American Masterpieces:

Chamber Music grant recipients, concert audiences have

been treated to a steady stream of ensemble works by

SU.S.-based , past and present. These events have included

performances in a wide range of venues, as well as residencies, master-

classes, and in-school educational activities. A second season of American

Masterpieces projects is now underway, and the application deadline for

a third round of grants is imminent. (See www.nea.gov.)

Following is a national calendar of American Masterpieces-related

performances and events, compiled from data we received before July

1, 2009. The calendar will continue to be updated, both in this magazine,

and on the America website. We welcome your additions,

corrections and revisions at [email protected].

*Some programming or dates may have changed since the concert information was first reported to CMA.
