Welcome to New Canaan Chamber Music
We are uniquely a New Canaan organization, founded by New Canaan native Andrew Armstrong. Andy has a strong local following. He attended New Canaan schools from first grade through graduation in 1992 and has returned to play here numerous times over the years.
He has performed as soloist in such great halls as Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall in New York City, Wigmore Hall in London, Rudolphinum in Prague, the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, and countless others in St. Petersburg, Bilbao, Shanghai, Tokyo, Bogata, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong. Days after the Fall 2021 concert with two-time Grammy winner violinist James Ehnes, the pair continued on to performances in Geneva, Glasgow, London, Dresden and Amsterdam. They have previously teamed up to record the complete cycle of 10 Beethoven Violin Sonatas to celebrate the master's 250th birthday.
