RITZ CHAMBER PLAYERS | EXPANDING HORIZONS

RCP opens its 25th Anniversary Season with Dvořák, James Lee III, Piazzolla, Hailstork, and an extraordinary company of chamber artists. EXPANDING HORIZONS The Silver Jubilee opens with the spirit of discovery that has defined RCP from the beginning: familiar masterworks placed in conversation with voices and traditions that reveal just how expansive chamber music can be. Dvořák's exuberant Piano Quintet opens the season in grand style before the evening moves into the contemporary American imagination of James Lee III and Adolphus Hailstork, with Piazzolla bringing his unmistakable rhythmic fire to the string quartet. Expanding Horizons celebrates the musical world RCP has spent twenty-five years opening wider — and points toward everything still ahead.
