In November, the CMW Players joined forces with the Haven String Quartet (quartet-in-residence at Music Haven) to rehearse a chamber orchestra program and perform concerts in New Haven and Providence.

Since the music of Bela Bartok plays such a prominent role in our 15th season, I visited CMW's audio archives to retrieve this recording of the first movement of Bartok's Divertimento for Strings, the last work he composed before fleeing Hungary in 1939, from the November 6 concert. Enjoy!

Are you interested in applying to CMW's June 2012 Institute for Musicianship and Public Service. IMPS, as we like to call it, is a four-day professional development opportunity for musicians (of all instruments) interested in a career that combines musicianship and service. IMPS offers a varied and engaging range of seminars, workshops, and interaction with students and CMW faculty.

IMPS is made possible through the generous support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and therefore the cost of the Institute is only $250 per participant, which includes shared lodging and most meals. Additional tuition and travel scholarships are available for graduates of the Sphinx Competition.

You can learn more, and download the application (deadline extended until March 23), by clicking here.
