Review: Voices of Change and Dallas Chamber Music Society serve up modern American works
The Viano String Quartet turned in a fine performance at the Dallas Chamber Music Society concert.

Two area concerts this week explored an array of American musical styles in the 20th and 21st centuries from jazz and folk idioms to minimalism. Each concert also included a late and rarely heard chamber work by a European composer born in the 19th century.
The performances were presented by Voices of Change, Dallas’ modern music ensemble, and the Dallas Chamber Music Society. I heard both via livestreams, although DCMS also had an in-person audience.
