Intimate Conversations:  Music in a Small Space is a concert dedicated exclusively to the art of chamber music, 'the music of friends'. 

Goethe described a string quartet as 'four rational people conversing'.  It is this 'conversational paradigm' which influenced the great Baroque, Classical and Romantic composers of chamber music, and is found in chamber works of the present day.  Musical parties for performing and listening to chamber music were often held in private homes, which offered far more pleasant performance environments (regular Sunday morning parties were given by the Mozart, and later, Mendelssohn families).   Small, appreciative audiences, comprised of close friends and relatives, would also include special guests, who were the best-known, most influential musicians of the day. Frederic Chopin, pathologically shy in large groups, had an active career performing salon recitals. Joseph Joachim and Clara Schumann debuted many of Robert Schumann's chamber works, on the same evening during which Liszt might elaborate on a Hungarian melody with three or four variations.

ATL Symphony Musicians Chamber Players have created a unique program to honor the art of 'the music of friends', featuring Baroque to contemporary works, and hope you will join them in the intimate setting of Kellett Chapel.
