about
CENTRAL CHAMBER SERIES

Founded in 2016, the Central Chamber Series uniquely engages audiences through a transformative time of learning, listening, and spiritual transcendence. The series explores masterworks written by some of the greatest composers of all time—from Bach, Haydn, and Brahms to Ives, Bernstein, and living composers of this generation—performed by world-class artists.

why
Chamber Music

Chamber Music is music for a small ensemble of instruments, one person to a part, performed in an intimate setting. As a passionate advocate for Chamber Music, I believe that the beauty and essence of Chamber Music is the way each person’s participation and commitment matters equally—like musical democracy.  Each part (person) is important and everyone is a leader.

This dynamic is partly the product of generous performance; it’s equally a feature of composition itself. Chamber Music is carefully constructed. Each player involved experiences the interplay, support, and expression of refined musical ideas, just as each player contributes to them, in turn.

Our aim is to bring Chamber Music to life across time by connecting with you in a shared and extraordinary experience, in Central’s strikingly beautiful space. I hope you join us in our journey to share some of the most vital and significant works of music ever written!
