About the Artist

The National Symphony Orchestra is renowned for its collective excellence and its spirited music-making, but that is only part of the story. Each of the musicians is not only a true artist, but an artist with individual preferences for composers, eras of music, and styles.

Prelude Chamber Recitals on the Millennium Stage offer a perfect forum for the expression of those preferences. Ensembles form and re-form for various projects and repertoire, and provide increased insights into the vast and wonderfully varied world of chamber music.
