We are an orchestra for the musically challenged... we have tons of fun. Read about us in the June 2010 issue of Strings Magazine.
Your question gives me pause to think... I love to listen to the Emerson String Quartet. They have done a wonderful set of Mendelssohn music.
If I may cheat on the question a bit... My favorite is to listen to Gil Shaham play with his wife, Adele An…
If chamber music is your passion, then this is the group for you
I agree with Hilary. Everyone at a concert has already been asked to turn off their cell phones for good reason. Your phone would have to be on wouldn't it? Why go to a concert if you want to be somewhere else? Live music is such a wonderful treat.…
That is a nasty, uncalled for comment from Casals. The audience IS important...Lyzy made a very valid point. I dress people for the stage as a profession and I have witness horrifying outfits. There is a reason for protocol. In my experience classic…
My husband and I attended the 40th anniversary concert for the Children's Orchestra Society at Carnegie Hall June 3rd. This orchestra founded by Yeou-Cheng and Yo-Yo Ma's father is made up of the neighborhood children of Manhasset NY. It was an amaz…

- Ah-HAH! I see right away that an internet link was blunked out of my letter.
BUT... my evasion succeeded, and so now I know the rules! Please google summer keys and you'll be delighted with what you see.

- Hi!... and welcome to this quirky internet music forum! I live in a forgotten corner of Connecticut, a rural area, and we have to make out own cultural events out of wholecloth. Consider yourself lucky that there's a Really Terrible Orchestra in your area; we don't even have that!
You sound like me and a lot of my friends: a mid-life beginner on violin/viola/cello. Now, I don't know whether I'm permitted to plug a commercial enterprise on this website, but I'll try this:
Ok.. if that doesn't work, and they block it, just google the word "summerkeys" and go to the website. This is a wonderful summer school for adult musicians, beginners especially welcome. I've gone there for 12 years, both as staff and student, and now inkeeper too. I'm linked onto that site if you look hard enough, so I'll be glad to answer any questions personally.
Anyway, they have strings faculty who can handle anyone at ANY level, believe me, but they're especially supportive of adult beginners, and give them great lessons and ensemble performance opportunities in a drop-dead gorgeous town in remote coastal Maine.
Meanwhile, I'm looking for other music camps to go to, but only in equally beautiful parts of USA or Canada! So I'm asking you and anyone who reads this to clue me on on chamber music "camps" that they've enjoyed.
