While gathering in larger numbers for live concerts is not possible, we proudly sponsor the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Front Row: National program to provide you with superb recordings from their archives.
Each concert is bookended with an introduction by one of the performing artists, and a special Q&A session with CMS's Artistic Directors David Finckel and Wu Han.
This four-concert series is made possible thanks to the generosity of Ronald and Heather Florence.
