Music has the power to unify minds and souls across generations, cultures, even the ages. No group practices this magic better than the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, whose artists currently hail from 18 countries and an equally vast range of artistic backgrounds. The Winds & Piano Tour features some of today’s finest wind players joined by French superstar pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet.

The Wall Street Journal has described the Society as “An unstoppable entity, an exploding star in the musical firmament.” The New York Sun celebrated “A joy to be in such authoritative hands…an audience member can simply sit back, relax, and let the music fill him.”
