1.9 The Society for Chamber Music in Rochester

Co-Artistic Directors Juliana Athayde and Erik Behr of the Society for Chamber Music in Rochester join us to discuss strategies for effective programming, making space for young composers, building a large roster of performers, integrating jazz improvisation and classical repertoire through baroque and blues concerts, developing institutional practices to ensure a legacy, working effectively with board members, the art of balancing family with orchestra and teaching and administrative work, and streamlining priorities in a post-COVID world.

The Society for Chamber Music in Rochester (SCMR) presents Chamber Music concerts featuring musicians of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and the Eastman School of Music as well as selected local and visiting artists. We perform great works of chamber music of all periods and styles. Our outreach mission reaches and teaches students of all ages and inspires chamber music’s ongoing creation through composition competitions and commissions.
