The Associated Chamber Music Players (ACMP) will host a livestream chamber music class featuring the Catalyst Quartet on Saturday, February 16, 2019. Chamber players and students of all ages and levels can gain tips and insights into playing technique and interpretation through the study of specific works in this FREE online event.
Participate in groups, ensembles, or individually on your computer and mobile devices, and engage with the class throughout the session (2:30-4:30PM EST) via a live chat feed on Facebook, connecting with the event and each other. Online participants experience the session as if they were in the room.
Studying Debussy’s String Quartet in G Minor, Op.10 and Nepomuk’s Dances I – Arrival, a lively and accessible piece by Brazilian-American composer Marcelo Zarvos, Catalyst Quartet will work with two talented learning quartets at the National Opera Center in New York. A multi-camera crew from VirtualArtsTV will deliver every detail of the workshop in a close-up, real-time high-quality stream to players everywhere. The program ends with a performance by Catalyst Quartet featuring selections from Villa-Lobos’s String Quartet No. 1 and Catalyst Quartet’s arrangement of Piazzolla, Angel Suite.

ACMP provided a generous sponsorship last year to one of the Academy’s chamber-centric summer music programs, Ovations Summer Strings Academy (Summer 2019 is now open for registration!), and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
