Join the celebration!
The 2011/12 season marks a milestone for the Walden Chamber Players—our 15th season of performances! And like any 15-year-old, Walden is full of energy and ready for action! We are celebrating this important anniversary with a busy season of concerts and in-depth outreach projects!

Beyond the ordinary . . .
This season we continue to present concerts that surprise and delight and allow audiences to make new connections and relationships with chamber music. Once again we will present works by important contemporary composers such as Gerhard Schedl, Kaija Saariaho, Krysztof Penderecki and Augusta Read Thomas. We balance this adventurous fare with some of the most beloved works of the chamber music canon such as the clarinet quintets by Mozart and Brahms, Haydn’s “Gypsy” piano trio, some delightful early pieces for string trio and piano by Beethoven and other works by Brahms, Dohnanyi and Schubert, among others.

Beyond the stage . . .
Thanks to a generous donor, we will be able to continue our Albany Chamber Music Initiative in the Albany, NY Public Schools which got off to a successful start last season, reaching over 450 students from elementary school through high school. We will also be returning to our residencies at Concord Academy in Concord, MA; Trinity University in San Antonio, TX; and the Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science in Worcester, MA. In addition, we are increasing our “home-town” presence by adding a second concert in Newton, MA, one of which will feature 12-year-old cellist Zlatomir Fung, the winner of our 6th Young Artists Competition in performance with the Walden Chamber Players, performing Borodin’s beautiful 2nd string quartet with us!

It’s our 15th season and we plan to party in style! We hope you will come and celebrate with us!
