The Southwest Chamber Players is a loose aggregation of dedicated amateur musicians who have performed at Saint Augustine’s Episcopal Church in Southwest Washington, D.C., for the past twenty-five years. These concerts mark our second return to the performing stage from a five-year exile resulting from the demolition of the old church, and the scourge of the coronavirus.
Formed in March 1997, SWCP has presented concerts of fine chamber music nearly each month since. Including every one of the orchestra’s instruments as well as singers of every voice range, our repertoire extends from Bach and Telemann through Prokofiev and Barber, with heavy emphasis on the works of the great composers of the classical and romantic eras.
None of the performers are paid -- we’re all virtual amateurs, and no required dollars change hands for these concerts.
This website, www.southwestchamberplayers.org, lists a fair sampling of past concert programs as well as biographies of many of the performers. We’re happy to welcome new friends, and to that end, we encourage you to entrust us with your e-mail addresses by sending a message to david@southwestchamberplayers.org.
For more information,or to add your address to our postal mailing list, email David Ehrlich at david@southwestchamberplayers.org or call him at (202) 484-6354.
