VC LIVE | Naumburg Foundation's “50 Years of Chamber Music” Concert [WATCH]

Join us at 7:00 PM (ET) tonight for the historic concert celebrating "50 Years of Chamber Music" with the Walter W. Naumburg Foundation and New York City's Town Hall

We’re coming to you from The Town Hall, in New York City, this evening for the Walter W. Naumburg Foundation and The Town Hall's “Celebration of 50 Years of Chamber Music” Gala Spectacular Concert.

Recorded on October 8 last month, tonight's incredible program includes performances by Naumburg Award-winning ensembles and artists including the American, Brentano, Pacifica, Telegraph, and Emerson String Quartets, Eighth Blackbird, pianist Anton Nel and clarinetist Charlie Neidich.

“It was a groundbreaking idea to promote chamber music in the United States in 1971, and the Naumburg Chamber Music Award quickly became the standard-bearer of excellence in the chamber music world — and we are extremely proud of our winners,” Naumburg Foundation President Nicholas Mann told The Violin Channel.

"This landmark concert features an exciting group of performers — plus a sampling of extraordinary chamber music repertoire. What more could we ask for in one evening?" Former American String Quartet veteran and Vice President of the Naumburg Foundation David Geber recently told The Violin Channel.
