Mannes College The New School for Music’s Schneider Concerts Series announces the 2014-15 season of seven Sunday afternoon chamber music concerts in The New School’s Auditorium at 66 W. 12th Street.

EDITOR'S NOTE: SEE BELOW FOR FULL SCHEDULE AND LINKS TO MULTIMEDIA ASSETS.
The Schneider Concerts’ mission to offer first-rate music at accessible ticket prices means that admission hasn’t been raised since 2008. A 7-concert subscription is $82 and a 5-concert subscription is $70 for these Sunday afternoon concerts presented in The New School’s intimate Auditorium, located at 66 W. 12th Street in Greenwich Village. Single tickets are also available. Call (212) 229-5873 or visit www.newschool.edu/concerts for more information.
Hailed in 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’ remarkable history 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 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. Artistic leadership is now under the auspices of a committee of noted musicians: Pamela Frank, Jaime Laredo, Cho-Liang Lin, Arnold Steinhardt, and Michael Tree.
