CONCERT SEASON
Welcome to the 2014-15 Season
Dear Friends,
I invite you to join us for a season of exceptional chamber music!
There is much to look forward to in the 2014-15 season. Our Ovation
Concert Series kicks off on Saturday, September 5 with Grammy Awardwinning violinist Karen Kim and pianist Andrew Armstrong joining
musicians of CMC for music of Brahms and Bach. We then continue with “A
Night in Vienna” on November 7 and “From Paris, With Love” on February
13.
We also look forward to our Mozart in the South Festival, Classical Kids
Concerts and the continuation of CMC2, our innovative mentoring program
that provides accomplished student instrumentalists with coachings,
learning sessions and performance opportunities.
As always, our House Concert Series remain the foundation of our
organization. These intimate evenings and afternoons of chamber music
allow you to get up close with the music and the musicians.
There is so much to experience, and I look forward to seeing you at our
performances!
