More Than 50 Years of Presenting the Chamber Music Leaders of Tomorrow

"One of the best deals in town for lovers of classical music, the Schneider Concerts at The New School offers top-notch programs at bargain prices." – Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times

Founded at The New School in 1957 by the late Eva H. Simons for Alexander Schneider, conductor, violinist and member of the famed Budapest String Quartet, the series was renamed The Schneider Concerts in his honor following his death in 1993. Its mission is to seek out and offer exposure early in their careers to the most outstanding and promising young musicians and ensembles and to offer chamber music concerts of the highest caliber at ticket prices modest enough to ensure access to all New Yorkers. Over the years, this series has presented pianist Peter Serkin, the Guarneri and Cleveland String Quartets, and many other ensembles in their New York debuts, as well as such artists as pianist Murray Perahia and cellist Yo Yo Ma before they came to wide public attention.

 
This season opens with a chamber orchestra playing Handel and Haydn in honor of our first concert and in celebration of founder Sasha Schneider's 100th birthday. We continue the celebration of Sasha and Haydn throughout the season with five outstanding young ensembles and the final series appearance of the Guarneri String Quartet. Please join us.
