Juilliard 2016 Chamberfest Tickets Now Available

Tickets for Juilliard's annual Chamberfest series became available today online only at Juilliard's website.  The weeklong festival of free recitals offers music lovers an opportunity to hear some of the greatest works of the chamber repertoire, many of them seldom performed, played by top level Juilliard musicians.  The recitals, other than the Wednesdays at One performance at Alice Tully Hall and the closing performance at the Sharp Theater, will all be held at Paul Hall.

The programs I plan on attending myself are as follows:
  • Monday, January 11th at 7:30 p.m. - Stravinsky, L'Histoire du Soldat (1918); Ligeti, Trio for Violin, Horn, and Piano, Hommage á Brahms (1982); Mendelssohn, Piano Sextet in D Major, Op. 110 (1824)
  • Wednesday, January 13th at 1:00 p.m. - Wagner, Siegfried Idyll for Chamber Orchestra, WWV 103 (1869); Fauré, Piano Quartet No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 15 (1879, rev. 1883)
  • Wednesday, January 13th at 7:30 p.m. - Schoenberg, String Quartet No. 2, Op. 10 (1910); Mendelssohn, Piano Trio in C Minor, Op. 66 (1845)
  • Friday, January 15th at 7:30 p.m. - Mendelssohn, Piano Trio in D Minor, Op. 49 (1839); Schubert, Piano Trio in E-flat Major, D. 929 (1827)
  • Saturday, January 16th at 3:00 p.m. - Schumann, Piano Trio in D Minor, Op. 63 (1847); Messiaen, Vision de l'Amen for Two Pianos (1943)
I'm really exciting to be attending these great recitals.  I've gone in previous seasons and have always been thrilled by the quality of the performances.  They're really not to be missed by anyone with a love of great music.
