(July 1 – August 12, 2012) The Norfolk Chamber Music Festival’s roots go back as far as the late 19th century, when Carl Stoeckel and Ellen Battell began hosting concerts in their Norfolk home. In conjunction with the Yale Summer School of Music, the festival looks forward to the next generation of chamber music through the cultivation of young performers and composers, even as it celebrates such monumental composers as Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert. Fellows of the Yale Summer School of Music perform as part of the Young Artists’ Performance Series, and the New Music Workshop provides composers with the opportunity to workshop and premiere new works. Past performers at the Norfolk have included chamber music groups Eroica Trio and the Ying Quartet, new music ensembles eighth blackbird and So Percussion, clarinetist Richard Stoltzman, and mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade.
