Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
Chamber music is a form of classical music performed by a small group of players, without a conductor. Decisions about the music are made by consensus. Players must simultaneously be masters of their instrument while being highly empathetic to the other members and aware of the whole group in order to play with precision and artistic sensitivity. We are privileged to welcome three extraordinary musicians from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Nicholas Canellakis, Paul Neubauer, and Arnaud Sussman, who will perform and also discuss some of the challenges they face as members of a leaderless group charged with such a demanding undertaking. AGPA Member Priscilla Kauff, PhD, DLFAGPA will lead the discussion.
This event is included with the five-day Institute and Conference package or the three-day Conference registration.
