About The Locrian Chamber Players
The Locrian Chamber Players, now in their twenty-eighth season, exclusively present music less than a decade old. They have given world premieres by Henri Pousseur, Joan La Barbara, Malcolm Goldstein and Ricky Ian Gordon; and New York and U.S. premieres by George Crumb, Louis Andriessen, Philip Glass, and Roger Reynolds, among many others. Their concerts feature works of both established and emerging composers. The ensemble comprises some of the finest performers in New York City. Members include: Calvin Wiersma and Conrad Harris, violin; Dan Panner, viola; Greg Hesselink, cello; Diva Goodfriend-Koven, flute; and Emily Wong and Jonathan Faiman, piano. Members perform regularly with such ensembles as the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, the American Composers Orchestra, the New York City Opera Orchestra and the Steve Reich Ensemble. The members are also active as soloists and teachers.
