| Cunard, the Official Cruise Line of the National Symphony Orchestra®, welcomes the Kennedy Center Chamber Players of the National Symphony Orchestra and NSO’s Director of Artistic Planning, Nigel Boon on the September 8, 2009 Transatlantic Crossing aboard Queen Mary 2.
The Kennedy Center Chamber Players has earned extraordinary praise from its very first performance in November 2003. “Washington has a new must-hear chamber ensemble,” wrote The Washington Post. This exciting chamber ensemble, consisting of National Symphony Orchestra principals, performs several times a year at the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater, exploring various facets of chamber music repertoire. Past seasons have also included appearances at the Library of Congress, the Robert H. and Clarice Smith Auditorium at Mount Vernon, the Barns of Wolf Trap, and Hillwood Museum and Gardens. The ensemble currently has two recordings, the Brahms Piano Quartet in G minor, Op. 25, in a recording produced by the Kennedy Center (and anticipated to be re-released on the Dorian label in a future season) and “The Beauty of Two”, an exploration of the duo sonata, on Dorian. Of the latter disc The Washington Post declared, “the disc is a charmer”, and Classics Today called Lambert Orkis, pianist, “invariably stylish, spirited, and genuinely collaborative….working with some top-notch partners, all members of the National Symphony Orchestra." | |
