2024 Crescent City Chamber Music Festival “Brandenburg and Beyond”: Concert #2
This ninth season of The Crescent City Chamber Music Festival (CCCMF), entitled “Brandenburg and Beyond,” the first complete presentation in New Orleans of Johann Sebastian Bach’s beloved and celebrated Brandenburg Concertos in recent memory. It is headlined by Ensembles-in-Residence the Manhattan Chamber Players and the Gryphon Trio and will feature some of Classical music’s most evocative and moving works of chamber music, the most inherently intimate and collaborative form of music making, from its earliest masterpieces to brilliant recently-penned compositions.
The renowned Manhattan Chamber Players, a collective of New York-based musicians who have delivered compelling performances of the greatest chamber masterworks year-after-year at CCCMF, will be joined by locally based classical artists, many of whom are from the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, in different chamber music configurations.
Festival Director and native New Orleanian Luke Fleming, who is also on the faculty of the University of New Orleans School of the Arts, says: “We are excited to present CCCMF’s ninth season of extraordinary chamber music making, with performances of many rarely heard masterworks in some of New Orleans’ most acoustically and aesthetically stellar venues, all free and open to the public.”
Community outreach is an integral part of the festival’s mission. In addition to CCCMF 2024’s seven free public concerts, over the course of this season festival artists will give 30-35 outreach performances at schools, retirement communities, missions, and helping organizations throughout the Greater New Orleans area. Artists will also mentor and coach local student chamber music groups.
