Even as many performance venues remain shuttered, Rice University Shepherd School students continue to do what they do best. The biannual Chamber Music Festival will once again be offered in a virtual format through the school’s YouTube channel May 17-23.
New festival performances will post throughout the week at 7 p.m. Norman Fischer, the Herbert S. Autrey Professor of Cello and director of chamber music at the Shepherd School, said he continues to be impressed by the willingness of students to adapt to the unique performing environment. The students have continued to wear masks and socially distance and get tested for COVID-19 a few times per week so they can rehearse safely.
