At the end of every calendar year, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center has a tradition of presenting the complete set of six Brandenburg Concertos. It seems only fitting that we air this joyous broadcast at the end of our academic year—in line with Middlebury’s Bach Festival history.  The CMS Front Row program celebrates chamber music at its finest; pulled from CMS’ extensive performance archive and expertly-curated by CMS co-Artistic Directors (and Middlebury friends) David Finckel and Wu Han—who also lead Q&A session with the artists.
