VALENTINE’S Day ushered in a new chapter in CSO musical history with the introduction of “Chamber Classics”, a series aimed at both increasing interest in the intimacy of this performance style and in expanding opportunities for CSO players to display their considerable performing abilities.
“Forgotten Romance” was an appropriate title for a February 14 concert, and it certainly appealed to Canberra’s music lovers. Two shows were presented during the afternoon with each performance sold out to the virus-allowed audience cap of 180 patrons.
This was a delightful one-hour concert which summed up the essence of chamber music – the chance to listen with eyes as well as ears and to be up close and personal as players communicated with their smiles and nods and displayed complete understanding and trust in their fellow performers.
The Willy Street Chamber Players present live micro-concerts, for up to two audience members at a time. Health and safety measures are in place. To reserve your micro-concert, sign up here. Additional dates and locations are available on Feb. 28.

Sarasota Orchestra musicians who have been unable to take part in the indoor chamber concerts at Holley Hall, are bringing the music outside to area publics over the next few months.
With support from the Community Foundation of Sarasota County and the Gulf Coast Community Foundation, the orchestra has launched a series of free concerts by three wind and brass ensembles. The concerts include musicians who are unable to wear masks while playing their instruments. With outdoor programs, it is considered safer for them to blow into their instruments.
The outdoor concert series, which began last month, continues Jan. 10 with a performance by the Sarasota Wind Quintet at Nathan Benderson Park. The same group will also perform there on March. 21.
