Metro DC-area Chamber Music Circle

About the Social

If you’ve had a yearning to share your group’s chamber music with others but weren’t sure how or where, perhaps you’d like to join our chamber music circle?

The circle is similar to what our musical forebears might have termed a salon or a Schubertiad.  We are a loosely-knit group of chamber musicians who get together most months and take turns performing for each other. On each occasion more than one group performs, so there is at least a small guaranteed audience. Members who are not performing are encouraged to come and listen.  Contributions can be short or long, and of any type: string quartet, wind ensemble, piano trio, vocal music — you get the idea –basically anything members want to do.  Sometimes we put together ensembles for special projects, like concerto readings. After the performances there are refreshments and a chance to socialize with each other and/or read through music. 

Our fourth season will kick off on October 25 with music for piano, strings, and voice (Dvorak, Bach, Godard, Denza, Goltermann). The second circle will be November 21.  Dates after that are still being negotiated; if your group is interested in playing sometime this cycle, contact Sue as soon as possible to discuss.

As the Washington Post suggested, let’s party like it’s 1899!
