Dahbra Erlbaum ’25S, who is majoring in psychology, “found it impressive that you could see the music expressed through their bodies and their facial expressions. They were communicating without even talking. That is what really stood out to me.”
As Young explained, Stern College currently has two ensembles-in-residence: Parthenia, for early music, and CXX Proof for contemporary classical music. “These are underserved genres that comprise an essential proportion of the canon of Western art music and have much to offer listeners.”
“The SCW Music faculty believes students need to experience live music to remind them that music comes not from headphones, but from people,” noted David Glaser, chair of the Department of Fine Arts and Music. “Salon Concerts at Stern, which include a question-and-answer session with the artists, demonstrate the craft and concentration needed to perform, as well as providing insight into the life and work of the professional artist/teacher.”
Salon Concerts at Stern are made possible by the generous support of trustee Marjorie Blenden, whose endowment underwrites the Music Department’s activities.
