DETAILS:
The Carnegie Mellon University Chamber Series brings together members of the CMU Faculty and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra for outstanding music making in an intimate space.
Due to the pandemic, the 2020-2021 Chamber Series performances will be virtual only, livestreamed on the CMU School of Music YouTube Channel. There is no cost to watch these livestreamed performances.
The theme of the 2020-2021 Chamber Series is “Arts Unified.” Each performance will open with a text of a black author/activist read by a CMU student and will feature at least one musical work written by a black composer.
The Carnegie Mellon Chamber Series is generously sponsored by Mrs. Cynthia Friedman.
