Founded in 1985, Alaria has established itself as a premier ensemble in New York City through exciting performances of well-known, relatively unknown, and newly composed chamber music works and through high-level chamber music coaching. Alaria's performance activities include a program of three concerts a year at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. In these concerts, Alaria seeks to foster the development of new music by pairing compositions by living composers with the better known chamber music repertoire. We have also regularly commissioned new compositions, and sponsor an annual student composition competition.
Alaria's teaching activities take place primarily at the Mannes School of Music, where we are responsible for providing weekly coaching sessions to chamber music groups consisting of music students and serious amateurs. Alaria's members have also taught and performed at international summer festivals in, among other places, Bennington (Vermont), Blue Hill (Maine), Prague, and Wales.
