Chamber Music Showcase: Beethoven, Arensky, Bartók, & Ravel

A flight of performances. A richness of artists. From May 28th through May 31st, 2021, New England Conservatory will fill the air with the sounds of piano trios, string quartets, and more as part of its virtual Chamber Music Showcase. Performers include students from all departments, coached by NEC's faculty of chamber music superstars.

In today's concert, produced by the Chamber Music department, student ensembles demonstrate the music they have worked on with faculty during the Spring 2021 semester. These recitals include groups studying on-campus and remotely, with performances recorded in-person and using layering techniques.
