In partnership with the Plains Art Museum, patrons are invited to attend a special concert at the museum on Thursday, May 24th and enjoy free admission to the museum after the show.

Guest artists for the 2018 NDSU Chamber Music Festival include Sonja Harasim, newly-appointed concertmaster of the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra, rising star mezzo-soprano Clara Osowski, faculty from North Dakota State University and Concordia College, and some of the most sought-after chamber musicians from New York City and Denver, Colorado.

Many of history’s greatest composers wrote their most personal and powerful works for chamber ensemble. The NDSU Chamber Music Festival brings the Fargo-Moorhead community an intimate encounter with this exhilarating music.

“Chamber music is special in that these mighty composers have created personal works that implicate performer and listener alike as the music unfolds—at times moving, at times exciting or even humorous,” said Tyler Wottrich, festival artistic director and assistant professor of piano at NDSU. “We invite you to join us in the NDSU Chamber Music Festival’s fourth season as NDSU student pianists work with professional string players to bring this incredible music to life.”

Student pianists are invited to attend open rehearsals and social events with NDSU pianists and guest artists by contacting Tyler Wottrich at tyler.wottrich@ndsu.edu.
