History

Formed in 2018, NEXUS Chamber Music is a Chicago based, artist-driven collective whose mission is to make chamber music culturally relevant. Specializing in live performances and multimedia content, NEXUS presents an annual festival in Chicago and tours nationally during the year.

Artistic Vision

NEXUS Co-Artistic Directors Alexander Hersh and Brian Hong are driven by a desire to create unique and engaging classical music experiences for an ever-broadening audience. Each year, Alex and Brian bring in numerous world-class artists to take part in NEXUS' annual fall festival, adding to an impressive and expanding international roster. Since its inaugural season in August of 2018, NEXUS has grown into a classical chamber music tour de force, capturing critical acclaim through stellar live performances and dazzling music videos of exciting new commissions and traditional masterworks alike.

Programs for Specific Audience(s) Expertise

We're super excited to be offering a new project during the festival this year called, Haydn's Favorite Pizza. It's a free concert aimed at introducing community music school students (and their families) to chamber music through the lens of Haydn. The concert would be free, ideally take place on a weekday evening and would end in a pizza party for all who attend.
