Hailed by The New York Times as “one of the best deals in town for lovers of classical music,” for nearly six decades, The New School’s Schneider Concerts series has presented outstanding young artists and ensembles at non-exclusionary ticket prices. The series stays contemporary by keeping in touch with the next generation of classical music leaders, while remaining connected to a remarkable history that includes the New York debuts of pianist Peter Serkin and the Guarneri, Cleveland, and Vermeer String Quartets and TASHI. Artists such as Yefim Bronfman, Richard Goode, Jaime Laredo, Yo Yo Ma, and Murray Perahia were introduced to New York audiences early in their careers. The series was founded at The New School in 1957 as New School Concerts by violinist and conductor Alexander Schneider, who led the series until his death in 1993, at which time the series was renamed The Schneider Concerts in his honor. In addition to the Aeoulus Quartet concert on October 20, the Schneider Concerts at The New School will host six other recitals at Tishman Auditorium throughout the year.
