Bank of America Chamber Music
Bank of America Chamber Music Program XI
Overview
The ultimate performance on the Chamber Series in 2026 begins with a work by John Williams, the film scoring legend who also wrote classical music, including this setting of the quintessential Shaker tune. Karim Sulayman and Pedja Mužijević treat us to a set of American songs in the middle of the program, and the complete string forces of the series join together to conclude the year with works by Philip Glass and Tchaikovsky.
