National Gallery of Art presents the U.S. Army Band Chamber Players – Phoenixes
Free
Achievement and transformation are often born in the fires of adversity. In this concert, the U.S. Army Band Chamber Players celebrate those challenges and the growth that comes from them, elements integral to Army service and to our shared human experience. Join us for a powerful program, featuring works by Stravinsky and contemporary American composers.
This event is programmed in conjunction with the exhibition The Anxious Eye: German Expressionism and Its Legacy.
About The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" Chamber Players
The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" is not only endowed with a number of world-class large ensembles – such as a concert band, string orchestra, chorus, jazz big band, and more – but is able to program in the space between with its robust chamber music series, deploying smaller ensembles with one player on a part performing challenging repertoire at the cutting edge. The Chamber Players have performed in various configurations at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, the National Gallery of Art, and various venues around the MD/VA/DC arts community.
In addition to presenting a wide array of chamber music performances to the public, beginning in 2022 we also began hosting a National Chamber Music Composition Competition. We look forward to building relationships with American composers of all walks, to championing their music, and to shining a light on the talent and innovation of our great nation.
