What is Chamber Music? Chamber Music has been described as “the music of friends” because it uses a small group of musicians. Originally written to be performed in people’s homes, today it is performed anywhere you can fit all of the musicians and their instruments. Why is Chamber Music unique? Each instrument plays its very own part. In a symphony you might have twenty violins playing the same notes, but in chamber music, even if you have two violins, each has its own part to play. The most important aspect of chamber music is communication. Chamber Music is Storytelling! Because there is only one musician per part in chamber music, each instrument’s “voice” is telling a unique story. If you watch closely you will see that the musicians look at each other a lot. This is because the musicians decide together how their smaller stories should blend together in order to tell one larger story. The Creative Team Musicians & Cast
