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 New York Times
Founded at The New School in 1957 as New School Concerts, in 1993 the series was renamed The Schneider Concerts in honor of founding Artistic Director Alexander Schneider. Its mission is to offer exposure to outstanding, emerging professional chamber artists and to present high quality chamber music performances at modest ticket prices to ensure access to all New Yorkers.
The Schneider Concerts 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.
