A multimedia concert telling the remarkable true story of Holocaust composer Dick Kattenburg through live performance, narration, rare photographs, and historical research.

MUSIC IN THEIR OWN WORDS

After each movement of a chamber music suite, children in the audience share their reactions, which they write or draw in music journals.

Before each piece, performers demonstrate techniques like staccato, ricochet, and double stops, helping audiences hear familiar works with new insight.

INSIDE THE MUSIC

Listen.

Discover.

Engage.

Connect.

Extraordinary live chamber music performed by outstanding musicians.

Stories, history, insights, and demonstrations that illuminate the music.

Interactive moments that invite audiences to think, imagine, create, and share.

Experiences that bring people together through musical discovery.

We believe chamber music becomes most meaningful when audiences are invited to engage with it.

Every Chamber Music Experience is designed to build a bridge between listeners and the music.

Sometimes that bridge is storytelling.

Sometimes it is education, historical exploration, artist demonstrations, or audience participation.

And sometimes, it is a collaboration of professional musicians with students and amateurs.

Whatever the format, our goal is the same: to deepen understanding, spark curiosity, and create memorable musical experiences that bring people together.

A Diary in Sound: Dick Kattenburg

Our flagship production, premiering in Fall 2026, tells the remarkable true story of Dutch-Jewish composer Dick Kattenburg. Through his rediscovered music, rare photographs, and meticulous historical research, audiences discover the life, legacy, and extraordinary body of work left behind by a gifted young composer whose voice was nearly forgotten.

Programs for Every Community

We partner with schools, libraries, museums, and community centers to make chamber music an accessible and transformative experience for all ages.
