Who Plays Chamber Music?
All kinds of people play chamber music. Some are amateur musicians. Others include the top concert professionals in the world. Some are elderly, others are young. They play because the music is beautiful, and because making music together with other people is one of the most rewarding experiences anyone can have. People simply get together to play, they don’t have to be rehearsing for a concert.. They don’t need a large hall to rehearse and perform in. They can simply meet in someone’s home. Nor do they need an audience, though that is generally okay. Often, they will play for a while, then take a break and have something to eat, talk, and just enjoy each others’ company. Then, they will resume playing — often into the wee hours of the night.
