Music TORONTO invites you to enter the evocative world of chamber music. Originating in the Italian Renaissance, musica da camera was used to distinguish music heard in private rooms from folk or church music. Its meaning, simply, is music composed for a small ensemble of instruments. We’ve moved from the private chamber into the concert hall, but the essence of this art form remains – deeply personal and approachable.
Artistic Producer’s Note
The renowned Tokyo String Quartet has now announced that the quartet will retire at the end of the 2012-13 season.
Previously the quartet had announced that violist Kazuhide Isomura, the sole remaining founding member, and violinist Kikuei Ikeda, would retire at that time. We will miss them; ours has been a long and wonderful relationship, But we have two chances to hear them in what is now their final season, January 10 and April 4, 2013.
