All events of the <a href="https://calendar.oberlin.edu/search/events?search=winter+term+chamber+music+festival">2015 Chamber Music Intensive & Festival for String, Wind, and Piano</a> are open to the public.</p> <p>Festival co-chairs George Sakakeeny (bassoon), Peter Takács (piano), and Michael Strauss (viola) have invited colleagues from across the country and around the world to take part in performances as well as lectures and teaching duties. </p> <p>“We're incredibly excited to bring this diverse and stimulating roster of guest artists to �鶹��Ƶ to work with our students and perform with our faculty," says Associate Professor Strauss. "These celebrated musicians are coming from within our alumni ranks and from acclaimed ensembles in our neighborhood and around the world.</p> <p>"The 10 programs show a fantastic range of sound and texture created by these small ensembles. And the variety is wonderful for introducing chamber music to new audiences, as well as appealing to those who already love it.”</p> <p>The �鶹��Ƶ Trio—violinist David Bowlin, cellist Amir Eldan, and pianist Haewon Song— anchor the festival as resident ensemble and are featured artists for the Finale program on Saturday, January 24.</p> <p>Six student ensembles, varying from duos to quartets and including pianists, wind, and string players, will work daily in rehearsal and in coachings with faculty and guest artist mentors, and will take part in a lecture and workshop series as well as public master classes. They are also slated for two performances near the end of the month.</p> <p>The complete <a href="https://calendar.oberlin.edu/search/events?search=winter+term+chamber+music+festival">festival schedule</a>, including lectures and public master classes, can be found in �鶹��Ƶ’s online event calendar.
