Devoted to expanding the repertoire for string quintet and commissioning new works, the Sybarite Chamber Players break down conventional musical boundaries to boldly step forward into a new genre of chamber music. Juxtaposing the likes of Penderecki with Radiohead or Mozart with Led Zeppelin, the Sybarite Chamber Players is considered one of the most versatile ensembles of its kind.
The Sybarite Chamber Players has appeared numerous times at the Aspen Music Festival and on the LaSalle concert series in Cincinnati. In May of 2006 the ensemble was featured on the Classical Thursdays concert series at Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle. Members of the group have performed with some of the finest ensembles here and abroad including the Metropolitan Opera, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, Florida West Coast Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Elektra Chamber Players, New World Symphony, Sarasota Opera, IRIS Chamber Orchestra, and S.E.M. ensemble.
With a driving force paralleled by few, the Sybarite ensemble adroitly manipulates musical styles and genres to challenge the way classical chamber music is presented today. The Sybarite Chamber Players is an non-profit arts organization based in Manhattan and continues to perform at the Aspen Music Festival, pioneering groundbreaking performances of the old and the new.
We just wanted to let you know that we have a new video up on our profile and youtube page (www.youtube.com/nccosf) of the trailer for our special event on January 19th, 2008: REWIND! Pass the word on!
We also added new photographs - a few of our REWIND guest artists and a few of our guest concertmasters this season.
