music of friends

Originally, chamber music was composed for a few classical musicians: an ensemble small enough to fit in a palace chamber.
So there is an intimacy to the music that you just don’ t get from an orchestra. And it really helps if all the musicians are bona fide friends!
The best chamber musicians strive for and achieve perfect blend and balance. Interpretation is discussed and agreed at the outset; shared leadership passes fluidly from one player to another; and the sound they make together is seamless call and response – a true musical dialogue.
Blend. Balance. Shared interpretation and leadership. Togetherness and dialogue. Sound like a school you know?
We are Pro Corda chamber music competition winners and many of our one-to-a-part groups( classical, folk, jazz, pop and rock) give intimate concerts in the Recital Room, our smallest, friendliest performance space.
