The Sudbury Meetinghouse Concert series is excited to present the Lincoln-Sudbury Civic Orchestra Chamber Players!
The Lincoln Sudbury Civic Orchestra (LSCO), in residence at the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School since 1973, created the Chamber Players initiative in the summer of 2024. Members of the orchestra combine in conductor-less groups to perform works in small ensembles, ranging from duos to 12 members.
The spring tour features a wide range of music and styles, from Bach Trio Sonatas to the earliest quartets of Franz Joseph Haydn, through Claude Debussy, Rodney Lister, Bohuslav Martinu, and Caroline Naime, to the Bossa Nova styles of Brazilian Celso Machado. A new work for brass quintet by Sudbury resident and managing director of the orchestra William Nicholson will be premiered.
The LSCO Chamber Players’ mission is to bring excellent chamber music to regular listeners in the ‘artistic concerts’ and to provide added listening experiences to underserved audiences in the ’service concerts,’ for Council on Aging clients in both Sudbury and Lincoln and other audiences in need.
Orchestra member Eric Hollander (viola) encouraged orchestra leadership to consider adding chamber music concerts to the regular orchestra calendar. Percussionist/timpanist Dave McLellan teamed up with Eric to organize a grassroots effort to form chamber ensembles from regular members of the orchestra.
Admission is a suggested donation of $20 at the door.
