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.
Where Chamber Music Becomes Conversation
At the OneMusic Project, chamber music is more than performance—it's a living dialogue between musicians, writers, actors, and audiences. We bring together intimate music and global artists, creating spaces where sound and story intertwine.
By pairing world-class chamber musicians with acclaimed authors, poets, and performers, we breathe new life into the concert experience. Literature and music share the stage, enhancing each other’s meaning and emotion, and inviting listeners into a deeper, more reflective connection.
Our mission is to revive the soul of chamber music—one note, one word at a time—and to reimagine this timeless art form for the world today. Through performances, master classes, open rehearsals, and public conversations, we create a multidimensional experience that engages both the heart and the intellect.

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.
