String Theory: Exploring The Nature, Craft and Soul of Musical Instruments


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.

On Wednesday, April 13th, Allen Roda, Professor of Music at New York University and enthomusicology expert, Yumi Kendall, Assistant Principal Cellist with The Philadelphia Orchestra, and Nick Kendall, the violinist from the popular cross-over group Time for Three, will discuss the identity of instruments as autonomous and dynamic agents, and the part they play in the interpretation of music. This will be followed by a concert with the Takács Quartet and pianist Garrick Ohlsson, in a program of works by Beethoven, Webern and Elgar.

Note this is a FREE ticketed event.
