Lincoln Center Chamber Musicians to Perform at Drew University

Starting Nov. 15, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center will kick off its annual concert series at Drew University in Madison, with an evening of romantic music, featuring works by Dvořák, Chausson, and Schubert. Enjoy listening to the world’s best musicians and greatest composers right in your backyard.

In this concert, the world-class ensemble from Lincoln Center will feature pianist Inon Barnatan, violinists Ani Kavafian and Areta Zhulla (pictured), violist Lawrence Power, cellists Nicholas Canellakis and Gary Hoffman, and double bassist David Grossman.

It is the seventh year the society has partnered with Drew University for its annual chamber music series, which takes place in The Concert Hall at the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts, which is a popular venue for performances and professional recordings because of the building’s exceptional acoustics. The society’s connection to Drew began in 2006 and, with its establishment, the town-and-gown ties have only deepened.

The next concert will take place on Feb. 7, 2015, when the Orion String Quartet and Friends will perform a repertoire by Haydn, Beethoven, Boccherini, and Mozart. On March 28, 2015, the series will wrap up with a performance of Mozart, Mendelssohn and Brahms.

The professional musicians performing in the concerts are artists of great renown. Most are award-winning international performers and recording artists, performing as soloists and in groups.

“The variety is really enticing,” said Marlisa Monroe, spokesperson for the Chamber Music Society. “It gives the audience a chance to hear things they’re more familiar with, as well as pieces they haven’t heard before.”

Each performance will begin at 8 p.m.–with pre-concert conversations with the artists–in The Concert Hall at the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts on Drew’s Madison campus. Subscriptions to the three regular season concerts are $144. Single-event tickets are available for $55 each, with a $5 service charge per order.
