Classical KC catches up with Dmitri Atapine, new co-artistic director for the Friends of Chamber Music Kansas City, for an exploration of the music and artists that will be a part of this upcoming season. We'll hear performances from the Verona and Emerson string quartets and a diverse set of music by Maurice Ravel, Ernő Dohnányi, Samuel Barber, Franz Schubert and more.

Now in his first full year as co-artistic director of the Friends of Chamber Music, cellist and educator Dmitri Atapine has performed all over the world, is Professor of Music and Cello at the University of Nevada - Reno and is a regular with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. He describes his first year leading the Friends as an "exhilarating" experience, adding that he feels a "great deal of responsibility." He is "eager to work with all the great musicians and all the great ensembles that are coming to Kansas City and to share this great music with our community."
