SERIES CANCELLED

Once a month, the Talea Ensemble curates The Fourth Sundays Chamber Music concert in The Penthouse at The Roger Smith Hotel. The series aims to promote the accessibility of contemporary classical music. Each concert focuses on one single piece by dissecting its inner-workings, while considering the external factors of its conception and existence.  The concerts are interactive in that the audience is considered an equal participant in the performance; they are encouraged to ask questions and participate in discussions after the music is performed.  The reception immediately following serves as a platform for discussion of the work among people of all ages and backgrounds.
