In Concert with the Boston Symphony Chamber Players

The Boston Symphony Chamber Players (BSCP), an ensemble comprised of the first-chair string and wind players of the Boston Symphony, will perform in Fraser Performance Studio. The program is hosted by Brian McCreath, host of CRB's Boston Symphony broadcasts. The performance will be recorded for future television broadcast on GBH 2 and as part of In Concert on CRB Classical 99.5. The program will feature Samuel Barber’s Summer Music for wind quintet, Carlos Simon’s Gardner Suite, and Anton Dvořák’s String Quartet No. 2 in G. Carlos Simon, who was appointed to a three-year term as BSO Composer Chair in 2024, wrote Gardner Suite after visiting the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. The BSCP presented the world premiere of his work earlier this season and will make a commercial recording of the piece in Fraser Performance Studio during their visit. The Boston Symphony Chamber Players include Nathan Cole (violin), Lorna McGhee (flute), and Richard Sebring (horn), and Steven Ansell (viola), Blaise Déjardin (cello), John Ferrillo (oboe), William R. Hudgins (clarinet), Haldan Martinson (second violin), Caleb Quillen (double bass), and Richard Svoboda (bassoon). The program is funded by the Mattina R. Proctor Foundation.
