The American University Chamber Players are comprised of student groups
from our Chamber Ensembles (Perf 145/545) and provide students with the
special opportunity of making music in small, intimate numbers. Ensembles
vary with regard to size and instrumentation depending upon the students'
level, instrumentation, and schedule. Groups have ranged in size from
duos to octets, are coached by members of our "In-Residence" faculty,
and are presented in recital at the end of every semester and additionally
when appropriate. Auditions are held at the beginning of the semester
in conjunction with the American University Symphony Orchestra auditions
and by appointment.
Recent performance opportunities in addition to the end-of-semester
recital include:
- Master classes with National Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster, Nurit
Bar-Josef, Kenneth Slowik (artistic director of the Smithsonian
Chamber Music Society), and AU
Faculty
- Community outreach at the Patricia M. Sitar Center for the Arts
(a nationally acclaimed arts center for at-risk youth in the Adams
Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC)
- Art galleries, places of worship, and historic homes throughout
Washington
- Unique locations on and around the AU campus
- Featured performers at AU events
The above represents just a sampling of the diverse chamber music activities
available to deserving students who are involved in the chamber music
program.
