ChamberMusicBox London
Described as ‘an open, imaginative and technically impeccable group that it would be folly not to follow’, ChamberMusicBox was founded in 2016 when a group of leading international musicians came together from across Europe to perform a series of chamber music concerts in London.
Its Artistic Directors, violinist Yuri Kalnits and cellist Julia Morneweg, had a vision to explore and perform a vast spectrum of chamber music repertoire with their like-minded and exceptionally talented friends, to promote mutual respect and empathy in the community through music-making of rare passion and generosity, and for audiences to be part of that shared experience.
With countless appearances on the big international stages, dozens of prizes at some of the world’s most prestigious competitions, and a host of acclaimed recordings between them, this ever-growing community of outstanding European musicians thrives on creating concert programmes as diverse as they are unique. In the first four ChamberMusicBox seasons, more than 50 artists from 20 different nations performed over 60 chamber works ranging from duos to nonets.
The impressive line-up includes numerous principal players from top British and European orchestras, renowned soloists and members of leading chamber music ensembles.
Having earned plaudits as one of the first arts organisations to pioneer socially-distanced live concerts in a wide range of settings during the Covid-19 pandemic, ChamberMusicBox rose to international attention in the summer of 2021 with the staging of their Fermata Festival, which brought together some of the UK’s finest musical talent with an exhibition of visual artworks created by classical musicians during lockdown.
Since the end of restrictions on the performing arts, ChamberMusicBox has been appearing in prestigious series and festivals across the UK and Europe while continuing their own London series.
