Played by small groups where each musician has a unique part, the magic of chamber music lies in its intimacy, both in communication between the musicians and the audience. It is music for listening, thinking, and imagining; it is music that speaks to the mind and the heart. The BrSO Chamber Players perform their favorite pieces.
