Maddock Opera House hosts New York chamber group

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding, The New York Kammermusiker, a small, double-reed chamber music ensemble that performs classical music, is returning to Maddock Sunday, Aug. 11at 2 p.m. at the Historic Maddock Opera House Main Street to celebrate their 13th annual Winds of Change Music Festival. Tickets will be available at the door.

The New York Kammermusiker ensemble will also be performing special music during the Viking Lutheran Church Sunday morning service, south of Maddock at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 11 before the concert at the Historic Maddock Opera House that afternoon.

The New York Kammermusiker is a unique chamber ensemble that travels the world presenting a wide range of double-reed music from the Renaissance era through contemporary periods. This group is known for their experimental and improvisatory performances – often performing music written for their own unique sound – and for the excellence of their performances, regardless of what particular music is on the program.

The New York Kammermusiker draws from some of the world's finest musicians for their performances. Members have performed with major symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles throughout the world.

The program will include Norwegian and other Scandinavian music, as well as music by Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart and more.
