Letter from the Cofounder

Dear Audience,

Welcome to our 4th season of Insight Chamber! We are thrilled to invite you to our most collaborative season yet. This year, we hope to introduce you to many of our established friends in the city, kicking off with my good friends Yunyi Ji & Hasan Abualhaj--champions of historical performance and members of the Parallax Ensemble.

​

I have studied historical performance on and off throughout my career and am extremely grateful for this opportunity to continue growing my own relationship with it as well as share it with you vis a vis baroque masterpieces and a new contemporary take on the genre by our resident composer, Cooper Grosscup!

​

Thank you for your continued support in our programming! We can't wait to share the rest of our concerts.
