The Atlanta Chamber Players, a mixed ensemble of strings, winds and piano, were founded in 1976. The ensemble has earned a national reputation as a pioneer among chamber music groups and is widely respected among arts organizations in the Southeast. For over four decades, the ACP has performed critically acclaimed concerts in cities throughout the United States, Europe and Mexico and reached millions worldwide through live international radio broadcasts. The ACP’s broad repertoire includes traditional masterpieces (Beethoven, Brahms) as well as contemporary classics (Crumb, Messiaen). ACP also has a long-standing commitment to performing the music of living American composers. The ensemble has premiered more than 125 works to Atlanta audiences, including world premieres commissioned from composers such as Michael Gandolfi, David Amram, Anne LeBaron, Adam Schoenberg, and two works from Pulitzer-Prizewinner John Harbison.
