Testimonials
The FCM series counts as one of my great pleasures in life. The musicians of Continuum [March, 1992 and November, 2002] introduced us to the brave new world of late 20th century and contemporary music. Thanks for paying attention to this vital aspect of the art! - Karen Jones
After many, many decades of attending concerts beginning in Phipps Auditorium, I would be hard pressed to remember a favorite. Instead, I want to extend a big "thank you" to past and present board members. Your efforts have made this [music] possible for over half a century and enriched our community with memorable music both in concert halls and as outreach programs to young people. BRAVO! - Sandra M. Goodman
I attended the very first concert of the Friends of Chamber Music 60 years ago and have been a continuous subscriber ever since. I was an 8 year old child at the time and I don't recall the program, but I do remember the excitement of that opening night at Phipps Auditorium with my parents. My father, Bernard Schaffner, was one of the original founders of this amazing organization and remained an integral part as a long standing member of the Board of Directors. Having recently moved from Chicago he and a few friends saw the need for good chamber music in Denver. They mobilized forces, got community support, and made Friends of Chamber Music a reality.
My favorite chamber group was the Beaux Arts Trio, and I especially enjoyed Menachem Pressler who charmed us all at the piano when he played the Schubert Trios. My family has had an exciting legacy with the Friends of Chamber Music and it continues to enrich our lives.
