“Citing the pandemic, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center announced today that the organization would postpone its scheduled fall 2020 concert season until the fall of 2021,” reads an unsigned Thursday (6/11) Opera News article. “The Chamber Music Society said that it intended to pay its performing artists 50% of their fees during the 2020 season and 75% of their fees in 2021, ‘to not only support them financially during these difficult times, but emotionally as well, by laying out a clear plan for moving forward that aims to inspire hope for the future.’ Later this summer, CMS plans to announce the details of its fall 2020 offerings, which will be specifically produced for online presentations and at-home viewing. That season will run from October 13 through December 18. The Chamber Music Society … plans to extend its online concert series, Front Row, featuring HD footage from the CMS archives, with six weeks of at-home programming beginning July 12 and running through August 31. The performances will be hosted by CMS co-artistic directors David Finckel and Wu Han, and each concert will include introductions to the music, visual program notes, and will feature a live Q&A with featured artists.”
