We're coming to you LIVE from Northbrook, Illinois, for the 2025 North Shore Chamber Music Festival (NSCMF). Founded in 2010 by violinist Vadim Gluzman and pianist Angela Yoffe, NSCMF provides Chicago's North Shore with exceptional live chamber music performances.

The Music Makers is a three-day festival that offers classical and contemporary classical music that audiences may not otherwise be exposed to. Tonight's concert - titled Fairy Tales and More - features the Ariel String Quartet, violinists Vadim Gluzman, Hina Khuong-Huu; violist Atar Arad, Julian Rhee, cellists Ani Aznavoorian, James Baik; pianist William Wolfram, and clarinetist Ilya Shterenberg.
