Chamber Music America held its 37th annual National Conference in
NYC, January 15-18, 2015. This is a great organization that is very supportive of
musicians and commissions original compositions by artists each year, including
both classical and jazz compositions and is a great champion to jazz composers.
Each year, along with music industry panels and an exhibitors’ hall, the conference
features two days of excellent musical showcases and a free Sunday concert of
commissioned pieces open to the public. Many commissioned pieces incorporate elements of jazz and contemporary chamber or world music together.
Below are videos of some of the
wonderful professionals who performed during this year’s musical showcases and concert. The
showcases and concert are my favorite reasons for attending and I usually learn about some
great groups that I haven’t had a chance to hear before.
