About Brightmusic
Why Chamber Music
A symphony orchestra may thrill us with the vastness of its resources, but a chamber group engages us on an entirely personal level. The musicians are wrapped in a web of intense communication with one another, and their parts, never so numerous as to confuse, project with a clarity that draws listeners in as rapt eavesdroppers on the conversation. (James M. Keller, Chamber Music: A listener’s Guide, Oxford University Press 2011)
Brightmusic is Oklahoma City’s premier chamber music ensemble presenting fine small-ensemble classical music in a relaxed family-friendly setting.
Top Quality Chamber Music in Oklahoma City
