Chautauqua Chamber Music
Chautauqua Chamber Music, held in the intimate setting of Elizabeth S. Lenna Hall, offers a variety of chamber music experiences each season with a diverse selection of ensembles. Chautauqua Chamber Music features a Guest Artist Series on Mondays, and a Resident Artist Series on Saturdays. Both series offer world class artistry and a wide variety of ensembles and genres, ranging from traditional string quartets and classical repertoire to jazz and contemporary music of our time.
Chautauqua Chamber Music Guest Artist Series
Existing since 1987, Chautauqua’s chamber music series has long been dedicated to bringing world-class chamber ensembles to Chautauqua. This Guest Artist Series is dedicated to supporting and featuring full-time chamber ensembles of any make-up and genre that are committed to the intimate and powerful art of chamber music. Sometimes thought of as “the music of friends,” chamber music performed by dedicated ensembles can create musical experiences that transcend solo efforts, creating journeys for the listener that have been honed over hours, and often years, of rehearsals and music-making.
Chautauqua Institution is a Concert Artists Guild Performance Prize Presenter and partners with Fischoff, the nation’s largest chamber music competition.
Chautauqua Chamber Music Resident Artist Series
Chautauqua resident artists include members of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, School of Music faculty and other guests that are in residence for an extended period of time. These artists are nationally and internationally recognized and Chautauqua is proud to present this series, now in its second season in 2019, giving both artist and audiences an opportunity to celebrate the collaborative talent and passion that exists within Chautauqua’s own resident artists.
