The Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth will ring in 2014 with a concert featuring Artistic Director Gary Levinson and Friends.

Being introduced to the audience for the first time in performance is the new Artistic Director for CMSFW and Senior Principal Associate Concertmaster for the Dallas symphony, violinist Gary Levinson. Completing the artist roster for this concert is bassist Eugene Levinson, father of Gary Levinson. Eugene Levinson served as principal bassist of the New York Philharmonic for 25 years, and currently serves on the faculty of the Juilliard School of Music.
