Our Mission
The mission of OneMusic Project is to keep the intimate experience of chamber music alive and vibrant, and to foster a wider and more engaged audience of chamber music enthusiasts.
Our core tactic is the production of concerts by a highly select group of internationally distinguished artists from Europe and the USA. The musicians are committed to bringing fresh and unique interpretations through their collaborations. Many of the musicians are composers themselves, carrying on the traditions of another century to the present day.
But we believe that celebrating this timeless art takes more than a single performance; it should be an ongoing conversation. To that end, OneMusic Project will present concerts alongside master classes, open-to-public rehearsals, and discussions by cultural thinkers, scholars and artists.
We aim to recreate chamber music’s original settings, and present a multi-dimensional approach to musical insight that enables our audience to engage with artists and scholars to more deeply appreciate the work. We know that our creative journey will be inspiring to our audience and the artists alike.

HOW IT STARTED
In 2011, I started OneMusic Project as an effort to bring the art of chamber music to a wider audience. At the time the idea was simple: I’ll just create one music project at a time - hence the name.
So it began with one concert, programmed and directed with my colleagues, with a single goal to bring the works of the great composers to life in a way that speaks to a modern audience of music lovers. We sold tickets to family, friends, friends of friends….and it worked.
Over the years, I continued producing one music project after another. We have performed at major venues in New York City including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center Merkin Hall, Scandinavia House, Opera America, The New School and the Metropolitan Playhouse; and the momentum grew.
In February 2019, OneMusic Project Inc. was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization under New York state laws, and has also obtained IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt status in order to take this effort to a new level with your continued support and patronage.
