Chamber Talk with Max Mandel: It’s All Chamber Music: The Soloists Life in the Early 21st Century

Gone are the days when Jascha Heifitz would refuse to play second fiddle to anyone. These days, soloists such as Caramoor’s own Festival Artist-in-Residence, Alisa Weilerstein, blur the lines between chamber musician and soloist. With a special video message from Alisa, this talk will focus on her Residency at Caramoor and her collaboration with former Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence, the Ariel Quartet. Also, we’ll discuss the “desert island” chamber piece, Schubert’s glorious Quintet with two cellos, which they will perform together during the Summer Music Festival.
