The Philadelphia Chamber Music Society presents a two-part panel discussion which delves into the material culture of music, set on the backdrop of two chamber music concerts at the Kimmel Center's Perelman Theater. String Theory explores the relationship between the things we create and their identity as independent artistic enablers.
The Friday, April 8th discussion will be between Samuel Zygmuntowicz, renowned instrument-maker in New York City, and Will Straw, Professor of Communications in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill University (Montreal). They will examine the constantly-evolving art of violin-making and the unique voice each instrument holds in its design. This illuminating discussion will be followed by Christian Tetzlaff's solo violin recital, featuring works by Ysaÿe, Bach, Kurtág and Bartók.
Note this is a FREE ticketed event.
