Chamber music is a style of classical music that has been around since the 17th century. It typically involves two or three instruments playing together, though sometimes larger groups play as well. The instruments used can vary depending on the piece being performed but usually include string instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, and double bass; wind instruments such as oboes, clarinets, flutes, bassoons; brass instruments such as horns; and percussion instruments such as drums. 

​

Chamber music often features complex harmonies and intricate melodies that require a high level of skill from each musician in order to be successful. This makes it a challenging yet rewarding experience for players and listeners alike. It also allows for more freedom than other types of classical music because each musician is able to contribute at their own skill level without feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the piece. 

 

What is Chamber Ensemble?  

​

Chamber ensemble is essentially an updated version of chamber music with some modern touches added in order to make it more accessible to today's audiences. Instead of relying solely on strings, winds, brass and percussion instruments like traditional chamber music does, chamber ensemble often incorporates any instrument or sound effect that fits with the mood or theme of the piece. This allows musicians to experiment with different sounds while still remaining true to the original idea behind chamber music - creating a unique musical atmosphere with multiple instrumentalists playing together in harmony.
