About Chamber Music Columbus
Founded in 1948 under the name Prestige Concerts, the founder James N. Cain was just 17-years-old and took on the responsibilities of organizing and directing the shows. To this day, the group strives to present chamber music into the Columbus area by featuring artists and ensembles from around the world.
What the heck is chamber music?
OFFICIAL DEFINITION: Chamber music is a form of classical music composed for a small group of instruments – traditionally a group that could fit in a palace chamber or large room. It includes any art music performed by a small number of performers. Today’s chamber music groups perform all kinds of different types of music from all over the world, featuring voices, electronic and acoustic instruments, and contemporary composers.
