the power of music closely shared 

~     ~     ~

FINE ART MUSIC COMPANY (formerly FINE ART PIANO COMPANY) brings together exceptional local musicians and listeners through creative concert programming held in the intimacy of smaller halls and salons. We feel the potency and depth of classical music is best experienced in settings that bring audience and musicians nearer one another.

Our mission is to intensify a tradition of creating the most intimate and meaningful experience possible of shared music-making.

CONCERTS & PERFORMING: We follow in the past tradition of closely- shared music playing among musicians and interested listeners that happened routinely in drawing rooms, parlors, salons. People could converse, respond openly and feel personally involved in the creative process of musical performance.

We design thematic concert programs of works with dynamic relation to each other, to stimulate an unusual  depth of enjoyment and involvement for the listener. To help the music be more accessible to listeners, performers share ideas and background about the music, and open their own world of involvement with the audience, eliminating separation.

FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC Seminars: 

A special way we have chosen to engage music lovers with deeper insights into fine music is to offer highly creative performance and listening seminars. “FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC: How does it do what it does?” is one such series, devoted to examining the potency of musical expression.

In a kind of master-class for listeners, musicians openly share their playing of classical pieces, revealing their own discovery of musical ideas. Audiences are invited to listen, respond, and participate in this discovery, leading to highly unusual moments of grasping together music in its pure and wordless form.

BY WORKING to broaden audience appeal to the classical world of live performance, Fine Art Music Company is able to provide a more intimate and personally satisfying, musical experience for the listener, as well as closer, more ‘human’ interaction for the musicians.
