WELCOME FROM
THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR |
Oskar Espina Ruiz
Artistic Director |
It is my great pleasure to
welcome you to the Treetops Chamber Music
Society and our 2011-2012 season. Treetops CMS
is a unique place to experience chamber music,
offering outstanding performances by world-class
musicians in an intimate setting. Located just
45 minutes north of New York City in the
Greenwich-Stamford area of Connecticut, Treetops
CMS sits within the historic Treetops estate,
its stage the former art studio of American
artist Louis Schanker. Since its founding in
2006, Treetops CMS has presented a stellar
roster of international artists, among them the
New York Woodwind Quintet, the Shanghai,
Daedalus and Escher Quartets, and artists from
the MET Orchestra. Since 2008, Treetops CMS also
has attracted some of the most talented young
chamber musicians in the country through its
J.C. Arriaga Chamber Music Competition.
The Treetops CMS team and I are looking forward to...

J. C.
ARRIAGA CHAMBER MUSIC COMPETITION |
 |
Concert performance
plays an irreplaceable role in
the education of young artists,
and chamber music performance is
at the center of creative music
education. For the young J. C.
Arriaga playing the violin in
various chamber music ensembles
was the only school at the time
he composed his first opera. He
later would enter the illustrious
Paris Conservatory. Although
Arriaga was a classical composer
deserving a prominent place in
history, his music wasn’t
played widely in international
circles until fairly recently. It
took the tenacious support of
many institutions and music
organizations to make
Arriaga’s international
appreciation possible. In a very
similar way, today’s most
deserving young chamber ensembles
need the support of music
organizations to jumpstart their
careers. That is why “to
complement the musical education
of young artists” is part of
the mission of the Treetops
Chamber Music Society which,
inspired by the example of
Arriaga, is set to assist most
deserving young chamber musicians
through its J. C. Arriaga Chamber
Music Competition.
