A Special Evening of Chamber Music

Gifted and talented groups of young musicians presented a variety of classical music on January 26, 2008 in the Stude Concert Hall at Rice University. The Houston Young Artist's Concert featured the talents of the most gifted young people in the Houston area. It was truly amazing to watch these young musicians as they performed with such passion and sensitivity brilliant pieces composed by some of the world's most prominent and creative composers. Chamber works included: piano trio, string quartet, flute duo, marimba duo, piano duo, violin duo, vocal ensemble, traditional Chinese instruments, and African drum ensemble. This was a fantastic way to spend a Saturday evening with the kids!
