Chamber Music - The Greatest Story Never Told

Accomplished artist, lecturer, and educator Aaron Boyd takes us on a deep dive into “Chamber Music – The Greatest Story Never Told,” morning and afternoon lectures with lunch included. Aaron presents a bird’s-eye view of the art of chamber music, from the sixteenth century to the present.
He will offer musical examples and rare, informative visuals that will explain the colorful and complex evolution of the art form. From the first time two people played together, through chamber music’s greatest eras, to the pandemic-age phenomenon of collaborative Zoom performances, Aaron is certain to cover it all.
