Chamber Players International Information

Chamber Players was founded in 1971 to fill a need for a fully professional musical and educational ensemble in the Long Island region. As the first independent, regional group of its kind in the nation, Chamber Players subsequently became the model for other regional chamber music societies throughout the country. In 1996, the organization was re-organized to better reflect its artistic mission as well as the make-up of its international quality artist roster. In 1998, David Winkler was appointed the Executive Director and the ensemble name was changed to Chamber Players International. That same year we created our community concerts initiative as well as an ongoing musical education component. In 2015-16 Chamber Players will maintain subscription concert series at the annual Landmark Series at Old Westbury Gardens and at the Coindre Chateau in Huntington. Other concert events will take place at the Chelsea Mansion in East Meadow, and at various venues in New York City, such as the Di Menna Center and National Opera Center. CPI™s artistic mission is three fold: To bring chamber and chamber orchestral concerts of the highest quality to audiences throughout the LI Region; To provide community and educational concert programs free of charge or at minimal cost to the disadvantaged, the elderly, to elementary, middle and high school students including music students throughout the region. To present unique and dynamic international repertory as well as rarely performed masterworks of the chamber music literature.
