National Chamber Music Month

Did you know that May is officially National Chamber Music Month? Do you even know what chamber music is? Chamber music - or “the music of friends” - is classical music played by a small ensemble, with one instrument on each part. Most often, we see chamber music performed by string quartets. These ensembles have historically played for small, intimate gatherings and do not typically include soloists. Chamber music is what you may hear at intimate restaurants and social gatherings, especially around the holidays.
