Classical Jam Live! “Classical Jam Live! “creates a platform
where musicians as diverse as soloists, orchestral players, chamber musicians, teaching artists, and composers come together
to explore and read chamber music in a casual and relaxed setting. These reading sessions can serve to bring chamber music
back into small intimate atmospheres, allow a rather rare type of interaction between musicians to flourish, and to create
a closer relationship between listeners and artists.
Between 12 to16 professional musicians are invited to gather
at a home and play several chamber works in a party setting, where neighbors and friends may join in and listen. These musicians,
many of them renowned, may include members of major symphonies, chamber music groups, and soloists, professors, and students
etc. A fun drawing at the beginning of the jam session will determine what piece, and with whom the musicians will play. The
goal is to ensure that all musicians will get a chance to play with each other.
Not only will musicians and listeners
get to know each other, all will get a chance to explore a wide range of chamber music repertoire. At these gatherings, some
musicians will know each other; many will meet each other for the first time. It is an opportunity for musicians to learn
from each other and to network.
Participated musicians include:
Violin: Jennifer Choi, Katherine Fong;
Kelly Hall-Tompkins, Judy Kang, Arnaud Sussmann, Erin Keefe, David Bowlin, Yuri Namkung, Suzy Perelman, Katie Lansdale, Andrea
Hallam, Anna Elashvili, Sarah Kapustin, and Tai Murray
Viola: Amadi Hummings, William Hakim, Tawnya Popoff, Dov
Scheindlin, Danielle Farina, Mark Holloway, Melissa Reardon, and Miranda Sielaff
Cello: Wendy Law, Amy Sue Barston,
Michael Nikolas, Katie Schlaikjer, Troy Stuart, Nina Lee, and Christie Chen
Pianists: Beata Moon, Jonathan Yates,
Joel Wizansky, Sheryl Lee, Hannah Shields, and Irina Nuzova
Composers: Beata Moon, Adam Silverman, Danny Felsenfeld,
and Peter Alexander

Young Classical Jam “Young
Classical Jam” functions similarly as “Classical Jam Live!”. Young musicians (age 9-17)as well as mentors
gather in private homes and read chamber music for fun. It provides an intensive chamber music sharing experience between
young musicians, as well as between mentors and young musicians.
Jam In Concert
“Jam
In Concert” is a concert series where musicians come together in formal concert as a result of exploration with participants
in “Classical Jam Live!”. The goal is to connect these musicians with audiences of all types in all different
venues, may they be major concert halls or private homes.
