2009-2010 Season: Style and Idea
The Second
City Chamber Series borrows its theme this year from the writings of the
composer Arnold Schoenberg, whose book “Style
and Idea” is still one of the great collections of essays on music and art.
Join us as we explore the great chamber music of the ages from the perspective
of its “style” and “idea”!
Join the Second City Chamber Series for our 33rd
season of the Masterpiece Series, the 8th season of the Spotlight
Concerts, and our 8th Annual Young Chamber Players recital.
