In an age where we are taught to seek out prestigious global careers, why go local? We believe that strong, vibrant community is one of the most undervalued resources of our time, and we are bringing our music to bear in order to lift up our home communities and be changed by them.
There are many opportunities to go and hear live chamber music, but few occasions when live chamber music comes to you. By partnering with venues which are already natural gathering points for the residents of our communities, we are working towards a more community-centered, accessible approach to chamber music. You can experience the joys of this living art form simply by frequenting your local parks, gardens, churches, and even your local pharmacy!

This month, we're very excited to share a brand new work written by our friend Eric Lemmon, a very talented composer and violist, a fellow Mannes alumni, and an Inwood local! His quartet is an exploration of Inwood's greatest gem: its public parks.
Great news: you have four opportunities to hear Eric's beautiful work as part of our upcoming "Americana" program, and all four concerts are free! They will take place between July 26 and July 30. Visit our events page for full details!
Help us to sustain a robust musical presence in the places where we live as we fulfill our mission to strengthen the culture and practice of community.
