Join us at Steinway Hall - Fort Worth for an evening of Chamber Music in collaboration with the Emerging Artists of the Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth. This concert will feature Juliette Greer, Mari Nagahara, and Janice Carissa all the way from the New England Conservatory and Curtis Institute on the violin, cello, and piano respectively. They have an adventurous program to present to you - free of admission - with the works of J.S. Bach, Gabriel Fauré, and Robert Schumann.
A special thanks must go out to Cecilia Dunoyer for her collaboration on the Sonata for Violin and Piano by Gabriel Fauré. A celebrated voice on the musical contributions of Debussy, Ravel, and Poulenc - Dunoyer is a force to be reckoned with, particularly suited to the repertoire performed this evening.
Steinway Hall - Fort Worth is proud to host this Emerging Artist concert in collaboration with CMSFW2. We wholehearted believe that the great musicians of tomorrow give their best performances when they have instruments that are as uncompromised in their capacity for expression as the musical structures they seek to build for their audience.
CMSFW2 has been launched by the Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth to give Emerging Artists a platform on which they might learn to take command of their performance and captivate their listeners.

Juliette Greer, violin
Juliette Greer, 18, is currently studying at the New England Conservatory in Soovin Kim’s studio. She grew up in Pennsylvania in a musical family and began playing the violin when she was four. Her teachers were Russian violinist Max Zorin and Daniel Han from the Philadelphia Orchestra. In addition to winning numerous regional and national competitions, she performed as a guest soloist with the Nittany Valley Symphony, the Williamsport Symphony, CPYO, and she served as Concert-mistress of the Central Pennsylvania Youth Orchestra for three years (2012-2015). Last season, Juliette was selected in a national competition to perform with the New York String Orchestra Seminar, NYSOS, led by Jamie Laredo in two concerts at Carnegie Hall.
Her passion for chamber music was ignited when she was 13 at the Castleman’s String Quartet Program in New York. Since then, she has devoted all her summers to chamber music, and participated in festivals such as the Rencontres Internationales Musicales de Graves in the south of France for 3 years, 2ndo Festival Internacional de Musica in Cordoba, Argentina, and the Miami Music Festival among others. One of the most recent highlights of her career was to be one of 48 musicians selected nationally to be a part of Kneisel Hall 2017, in Blue Hill, Maine, for 8 weeks, a highly esteemed over-100-year-old Chamber Music Festival. It is at Kneisel Hall that Juliette, Janice and Mari met and formed their Trio.
Juliette just returned last month from Cordoba and Mendoza, Argentina, where she performed two recitals with pianist Cecilia Dunoyer and presented chamber music masterclasses. She was invited for return engagement next season. In her free time, Juliette is an avid tennis player and an enthusiastic traveler. She is delighted to discover Dallas and Fort Worth and grateful for its warm hospitality.
