Walden Chamber Players |
SAN ANTONIO –Walden Chamber Players, a musical ensemble that mixes and matches the works of both classical and contemporary composers with an eye to new understandings and discoveries, will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5, in Trinity University’s Ruth Taylor Recital Hall. The concert is free to the public and is part of the University’s 2007-2008 Stieren Arts Enrichment Series.
Walden Chamber Players is comprised of 13 artists in various combinations of string, piano, and wind ensembles. The wide variety of instrumental groupings possible with this ensemble allows for great versatility and eclectic programming, a hallmark of the Walden Chamber Players. Programs are designed to present rarely heard works by composers of the past as well as music by contemporary composers in a conscious effort to broaden the musical horizon of the audience. Their concert at Trinity University will feature music by Shubert, Mozart, and Davidovsky and will conclude with the Brahms Piano Quartet in G Minor, one of the most beloved works in the chamber music repertory.
The musicians of Walden Chamber Players are current and former members of such prestigious musical organizations as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Pops, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra. Members of the ensemble perform at leading festivals throughout the United States and abroad and are on the faculty of many of New England’s premier musical teaching institutions, such as the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston University, and the Boston Conservatory of Music.
The Stieren Arts Enrichment Series brings to Trinity’s campus a distinguished array of outstanding leaders in the fields of art, music, drama, communication, literature, art history, and aesthetics. It is made possible through an endowment created by Jane and the late Arthur T. Stieren of San Antonio.
