The 2010-2011 Season
As Chamber Music Wilmington (CMW) begins its 16th season, the passion, excitement, and energy have never been stronger. Each year, I have the exciting challenge to create a concert series that delights, fascinates, and inspires. The 2010-11 series promises lush sensuality, good humor, and spiritual rejuvenation, complete with exciting new artists and a wondrous constellation of chamber music masterpieces from around the world. Included are French Impressionists and masterpieces of the Baroque to American cross-over composers Chick Corea and Fred Hersch, as well as Latin-inspired dances from D’Rivera and Piazzola.
Inspiration and enthusiasm helped CMW launch two new initiatives
in 2010-11: an historical International touring project, Gaubert VIVANT! and a long-term Artist-in-Residence program at Snipes Elementary. Both of these expand CMW’s educational commitment and deepen our cultural presence in NC and the Southeastern US.
This exciting new season marks our response to your ever growing
enthusiasm and support as we come together to share a common passion for chamber music.

The CAROLINA PIANO TRIO takes you on a date that runs full circle from flirtation and budding romance to the mature relationship with this creative program of dances and romances by American crossover composers Chick Corea & Fred Hersch, adding a dash of intriguing tangos from Piazzola and Latin love songs from Spanish romantic Joaquín Turina. |
