| 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 2010-2011 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
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 whole 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.
