CHAMBER MUSIC
Each season the VSMF presents concerts in which the focus is "Chamber Music". Chamber Music, which has a long history within the evolution of Western Classical Music, is generally understood to be music written for a small ensemble of musicians (from 2 to 9 performers), with just one player per part. Before the advent of large concert halls, this music would have been performed in smaller rooms or "chambers". A smaller hall is the perfect setting in which to hear this unique form of music, wherein small groups of musicians converse with each other - revealing the intimacy and passion written by the greatest Western Music composers into these trios, quartets, quintets, and more, all of which we know and love as "Chamber Music".
