What We Do

The New York Chamber Players is a Professional Chamber Orchestra of 42 elements . It's dedicated to producing performances of mostly classical music. About 2/3 of the Orchestra is core and the remaining 1/3 is new at every production and is chosen through regular auditions  : in NYC there is a wealth of Music Talents and this is to give the opportunity to all deserving Professionals . The Artistic Director welcomes all Professionals from all Nationalities and Races as a reflection of the true spirit of New York City . The main mission is to promote live classical music through presentations of classical music to contemporary audiences, using different formats to enliven and inspire musical experiences. The formats include spontaneous communication with the audiences, unusual in most concert settings, as well as full awareness of proper alternative visual effects. The organization will fulfill its missions by organizing the following activities:

• enhancing the career and musical activity of its artists, mostly young professionals graduated from colleges, universities and conservatories.

• promoting classical music to contemporary audiences,through spontaneous communication with the public during concerts.

• expanding beyond traditional presentational formats by integrating different visual effects,

• directing particular attention toward contemporary music and lesser known but great composers.
