The Frederick R. Koch Foundation hosts a Series of Eight Free Digital Concerts from Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center

As part of its extensive offering of digital concerts, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center presents a series of eight free, digital performances in the weeks leading up to its return to Alice Tully Hall in October. Every Monday evening at 7:30 pm EDT, from July 12 to August 30, audiences can enjoy a one-hour performance by CMS artists.

The eight concerts were recorded this spring, produced and directed by Art Docs, with the generous support of The Frederick R. Koch Foundation, at The Frederick R. Koch Foundation Townhouse, a historic property built by F.W. Woolworth. The Townhouse is the perfect setting for chamber music, architecturally stunning and full of beautiful artworks and objets d’art from around the world. The concerts honor the late Frederick R. Koch’s lifelong dedication to generously supporting the visual and performing arts.

The series will stream on both the Chamber Music Society’s website, chambermusicsociety.org, where it will also be available on-demand for one year after each premiere, and on The Violin Channel, theviolinchannel.com, on the premiere date and on-demand for one week after each premiere.
