Walden’s 13th season promises to be an intensive mix of concerts and educational programs! We are continuing to expand our geographical reach with concerts in New York City; Lewes, Delaware; Nantucket and Newton, Massachusetts; and San Antonio, Texas, among other venues. Continuing our relationships with contemporary composers, a highlight of the season will be the performance of a new work in March 2010, commissioned from Atlanta-based composer Alvin Singleton.
Thanks to continued funding by Chamber Music America, we are delighted to be returning to Nyack High School in New York where we will be continuing our “Chamber Music Institute” which was such a success last year. This year we are also beginning an ambitious and in-depth chamber music program at Concord Academy, in Massachusetts, as the school’s new Ensemble-in-Residence. Our Young Artist Competition, now in its fourth year, continues to be an exciting, one-of-a-kind event and is the area’s only competition for young chamber musicians. We are also continuing our partnerships with Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, the Nantucket Elementary Schools and the Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science (now in our fifth year!).
We hope you will join us at one of our concerts or stop by one of our education events. We will be thrilled to see you!
“The ensemble treated the Schoenberg
with riveting intensity as much as with
loving care, outlining Bach's legacy
clothed in Schoenberg's elegantly
neurotic fashion—thrusting counterpoint,
taut textures and sheer insistence.
