Chamber Music Festival.
Throughout the 1980s, WQXR broadcast the Chamber Music Festival with host Robert Sherman. Recorded live before a studio audience at the New York Times Auditorium, the series featured performances by outstanding musical artists of international acclaim, including The Emerson String Quartet, The King’s Singers, Earl Wrightson, The Western Wind and Hesperus, The Empire Brass, Hexagon, The Shanghai Quartet, The Aeolian Chamber Players, The McDermott Trio, Giora Feidman and many others.
The name of the series changed throughout its run, modified as its sponsors changed: The Dubonnet Chamber Music Festival, the Scientific American Chamber Music Festival, the Marine Midland Chamber Festival, and Musical Chemistry sponsored by Chemical Bank.
