Linton Chamber Music Series
Encyclopedia
Linton Chamber Music Series is a presenter of chamber music
and educational concerts based in Cincinnati, Ohio
.
, violinist Rosemary Waller and members of the Church to launch a chamber music series on Sunday afternoons in the Church sanctuary. It was named Linton after the street on which the Church is located in Cincinnati's Avondale neighborhood. Waller, principal clarinetist of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
, became artistic director.
The Linton Series proper began in 1978-79, with concerts in October, November, March and April. The October, 1978 inaugural was performed by Trio d'Accordo joined by CSO principal flutist George Hambrecht. The second concert, on November 12, 1978, featured pianist Andre-Michel Schub, Waller and CSO principal cellist Peter Wiley
. Schub, guest artist with the CSO that weekend, set a pattern for the Linton Series, which typically presents at least one CSO guest each season. The series now comprises six concerts a season, with repeats four times a year in a suburban venue, currently Congregation Beth Adam in Loveland, Ohio.
The hallmark of the Linton Series from its beginning has been presenting ad hoc rather than established ensembles, making it somewhat akin to the 19th-century house concert. Typically, Linton concerts feature principal players of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in performances of chamber music with CSO guest artists and other invited guests. CSO guests appear under a special arrangement with Linton, whereby soloists contracted by the orchestra are permitted to perform on Linton concerts during their visits to Cincinnati. Over the years, a cadre of Linton "regulars" has taken shape made up of CSO principals and former principals and guests who have made repeated visits, such as violinist Ani Kavafian
, violist Steven Tenenbom and cellist (and former CSO principal) Wiley.
In 1993, Linton Music Series was one of six national grantees of the Chamber Music America Presenter Expansion Program, enabling it to hire its first full-time administrative director. Linton was incorporated in 1994, earning its 501(c) (3) designation in 1995. Concerts are recorded and broadcast by Cincinnati public radio station WGUC
-FM.
In April 2009, Waller stepped down as Linton artistic director and was succeeded by artistic directors Jaime Laredo
and Sharon Robinson
.
, Steven Tenenbom, Alexander Kerr, Phillip Ruder and Peter Wiley
.
In 1999, "Peanut Butter and Jam Sessions" received a Post-Corbett Award for Excellence in Arts Education and Outreach from the Scripps Howard Foundation.
Another Linton spinoff, "The Mayor's 801 Plum Concerts", created in 1994 to attract young urban professionals and featuring diverse, contemporary programming in an early Friday evening, downtown setting (Cincinnati City Hall), has been discontinued.
