Reggae Festival

By Leave a Comment

“Reggae, oh man. It’s the ultimate music. The positivity. The musicality. The whole cultural expressionism of it. The danceability. Just the cool factor. The melody factor.” — Lupe Fiasco, American rapper 

Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica during the late 1960’s, incorporating musical elements of R&B, jazz, Jamaican folk, calypso, Jamaican ‘ska’ and ‘rocksteady’ of the 50’s & 60’s, as well as African and Latin music, but it’s distinguished by that now familiar reggae beat — a counterpoint between the bass and drum downbeat and the offbeat rhythm section.

Other than the beat, reggae often has common themes in its lyrics.  In the beginning, romantic love dominated the lyrics of reggae, then it expanded to different kinds of love in the 70’s — spiritual love, the love of one’s fellow man, and of God, or “Jah”.  Reggae lyrics soon evolved even more as a voice against violence, poverty, racism, and government oppression.

After more than 50 years, reggae has spread throughout the world, often incorporating local instruments and mixes with other genres.  It’s also inspired innovation of entirely new musical styles, and has been interfused with other popular genres, like hip-hop and rap.

Since 1993, the Reggae Sumfest has been held at Montego Bay every year in July, presenting an “authentic Jamaican musical and cultural experience”, and growing to become the largest music festival in Jamaica.

The Music of Friends

By Leave a Comment

Chamber music is any art music traditionally performed within a large room by a small number of musicians, and it’s this intimate setting that resulted in chamber music being referred to as “the music of friends”.  Prior to the 19th century, the ‘friends’ of chamber music included royalty, aristocrats and their employee-composers, and performances were strictly a private affair in ‘chamber’ rooms of a palace, mansion, or manor house.  The evolution of chamber music began as social orders throughout Europe changed and improvements were made in tone, volume and power of string instruments, allowing for public performances in large halls and an expanded repertoire of techniques for composers.  And, it continues today with influences from other music genres and innovative new music that often challenges the established fundamental characteristics of chamber music.

WATCH On2In2™

Since 1969, the Chamber Music Society Lincoln Center (CMS) has brought the experience of chamber music to the general public with a wide variety of concert series and educational programs for listeners of all ages and sensibilities.

The CMS 2017-18 live stream season includes a revolving multi-generational and international roster of some of the world’s finest chamber musicians in concert, recitals, special classes and lecture series. Great for listening and learning!

Late Night Rose concerts express the spirit of intimacy between musician and listener with chamber music classics and novelties in a cabaret-style setting.  New Music programs bring together some of today’s finest living composers, allowing listeners to experience musical innovation.

If you missed the live stream broadcast of a CMS 2017-18 performance, you can watch video recordings by clicking on the “Watch Again” button ➡ located on the media players below.
