CHAMBER MUSIC HAMILTON HAS BEEN A PRESENTER FOR CHAMBER MUSIC THAT BRINGS GROUPS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO HAMILTON. CMH HAS HAD THIS ROLE SINCE THE LATE 1800'S WHICH MAKES IT ONE OF THE OLDEST SUCH PRESENTERS IN NORTH AMERICA. CHAMBER MUSIC IS 'CLASSICAL' OR 'FINE' MUSIC WRITTEN FOR A SMALL CAST OF PLAYERS WHERE EACH PLAYER/INSTRUMENT CARRIES ITS OWN MUSICAL LINE. YOU GET A PERSONAL DIALOGUE HAPPENING ND IT CAN HAPPEN IN SMALLER SPACES BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS UP CLOSE - THE MUSICAL VOICES ARE NEXT TO EACH OTHER AS THEY CONSERVE AND THE AUDIENCE IS UP CLOSE TO THE ACTION TOO. THE FORM EXPOSES TECHNICAL SKILLS OF MUSICIANS AND WITH THE EXPRESSIVE POSSIBILITIES OF ITS DIALOGUE IT DRAWS THE BEST MUSICIANS. FOR MORE THAN 300 YEARS THERE HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE SO MUCH GREAT MUSIC WRITTEN FOR CHAMBERS ENSEMBLES. AS LONG AS THE STRING QUARTET THE 'SACRED FORM' HAS BEEN AROUND COMPOSERS HAVE TESTED THEIR METAL AGAINST IT AND SO THE REPERTOIRE KEPT GETTING RICHER. ITS PERFORMERS AROUND THE WORLD RISE TO THE DEMANDS. NOTHING IS REQUIRED OF THE LISTENER BUT AN OPENNESS TO THE EMOTIONS THE SENSE OF CEREMONY AND THE NARRATIVE. AT CMH WE BELIEVE HIGH ART IS THERE FOR EVERYONE AND THIS REUIRES THE SUPPORT OF SOCIETY.
