Chamber Music Society on Tour
From Berkeley to Boston – from Miami to Milwaukee – from Seattle to Sioux Falls, the Chamber Music Society performs numerous concerts on tour each year, reaching new audiences and loyal friends well beyond the walls of Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in New York City. The Chamber Music Society’s touring program has sent Artists of the Society and guests to more than 150 cities across the United States, Canada, Australia, France, and Japan. Touring programs have gone to virtually every major city in the United States, including Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC.
Tour Stops during the 2008-09 Season
CMS will take four programs on tour during the 2008-09 season, replicating programs offered during the 2007-08 season in New York: “Portrait of Rachmaninov,” exploring the lush chamber works of the beloved Russian master; “Baroque Inspirations,” which takes CMS’ popular Baroque progamming on the road; “Folk Traditions: Dvorak and Bartok,” with music from the Hungarian masters promising to delight; and “American Voices,” which presents chamber music from American composers.
