WSHU Music Host Emily Boyer sits down with pianist Andrew Armstrong, Artistic Director of New Canaan Chamber Music, to talk about the start of a brand-new season — one that celebrates both world-class artistry and the joy of community.
The season opens next week with two concerts, Tuesday and Wednesday, featuring violinist James Ehnes, one of today’s most acclaimed performers. Armstrong shares how the collaboration came together, what audiences can look forward to this year, and why he believes chamber music feels especially alive right now.
During their conversation, Armstrong sits at the piano to give listeners a taste of what’s ahead — including a bit of George Gershwin, and one of his own compositions. He also reflects on what excites him most about classical music today, and how it continues to help us connect to one another in meaningful ways.
