Why are we so obsessed with age in the classical music industry?

Joined by the promising Horszowski Trio, Max Mandel explores the phenomenon of composers dying young and our fascination with performers in their youth. On the flip side, he’ll also talk about the longevity of composer Joan Tower, who will make an appearance at the Horszowski’s April 19 concert to introduce her piece “For Daniel”.

Mandel, an alum of Caramoor’s Evnin Rising Stars mentoring program and an accomplished viola player, breaks chamber music down for you with style, charm, and wit. This entertaining salon-style series, with live music and conversation from artistic, historical, political, and insider perspectives, is designed for the chamber novice as well as seasoned concert-goers. You’ll leave with a true sense of how and why the music works.
