“The Whole Note: Voices of Chamber” investigates how culture and diversity impact the world of chamber music.

Our mission for this podcast is to learn how culture and diversity impact chamber groups and what role does resilience play. It is essential to our program to feature musicians from an array of cultures, upbringings, and communities. 

Our podcast wishes to explore more about chamber groups’ stories, unique experiences, heritages, struggles, and their accomplishments, all of which connect to the importance of education and community. By reaching out to diverse groups of chamber musicians, we wish to not only engage in learning how culture impacts the arts, but also provide enrichment to a broad audience with meaningful discussions. In addition to featuring musicians, this project will include short segments of chamber music in a variety of genres. 

The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center launched the program Young Musicians Innovation Challenge. As awardees of this challenge, we are excited for this tremendous opportunity to ignite our ideas and implement our project.
