ChamberMusicBox @ St John's Church, Farncombe
ChamberMusicBox are delighted to launch their new residency at St John’s Church, Farncombe with a concert featuring two masterworks of the string chamber music repertoire.
ChamberMusicBox
ChamberMusicBox was founded in 2016 when a group of leading international musicians came together from across Europe to perform a series of chamber music concerts in London.
Its Artistic Directors, violinist Yuri Kalnits and cellist Julia Morneweg, had a vision to explore and perform a vast spectrum of exciting repertoire with their like-minded and exceptionally talented friends, to promote mutual respect and empathy in the community through music-making of rare passion and generosity, and for audiences to be part of that shared experience.
With countless appearances on the big international stages, dozens of prizes at some of the world’s most prestigious competitions, and a host of acclaimed recordings between them, this ever-growing community of outstanding European musicians thrives on creating projects and concert programmes as diverse as they are unique.
As the Covid-19 pandemic spread across the world and concert halls lay silent for many months at a time, this intrepid group of artists set out to keep bringing live concerts to music lovers in the safest possible way, by seeking out non-traditional concert venues that would lend themselves to social distancing whilst maintaining a special, intimate atmosphere. The success of the initial concerts has resulted in the group now holding residencies in venues across London, Kent, Suffolk, Surrey and Sussex and earning them plaudits for continuing to provide world-class music-making to communities in the most difficult of circumstances.
To celebrate the start of their new residency at St John’s Church, Farncombe, this extraordinary group of artists have chosen a sumptuous and life-affirming programme to showcase the venue’s stunning acoustics every bit as much as their own virtuosity: Richard Strauss’ glorious Sextet from his opera Capriccio and Tchaikovsky’s “Souvenir de Florence”, an unparalled treasure-trove of melodic riches and technical fireworks alike. A concert not to be missed!
