The Staten Island Chamber Music Players is a nonprofit cultural and educational organization performing in Staten Island and
throughout the metropolitan area. Our purpose is to enrich the lives of the borough's residents by presenting professional
musical performances, which are offered in different venues providing access to all members of the community, regardless of
their ages, races, economic status, physical or emotional/mental limitations.
The fall of 2002 will mark the beginning of the Chamber Players' 29th season of bringing professional chamber music ot the
residents of Staten Island. The ensemble is made up of four performing units: string quartet, jazz quartet, brass quintet
and woodwind quintet, performing a repertoire ranging from baroque to contemporary. Two concert series are presented annually:
a four-concert subscription series at Veterans Memorial Hall, Snug Harbor Culturual Center, and a four-concert, admission-free
summer series at High Rock Park Conservation Center. In addition, many free performances are scheduled throughout the year
in Staten Island nursing homes, hospitals, churches, colleges, and for civic events.
