Quartet Salonnières: Solos & Ensembles

Three Village Chamber Players (3VCP) strives to be an essential source of artistry in Suffolk County and surrounding areas by embedding music performances in spaces that are central to the community. Rather than summoning audiences to designated concert halls, 3VCP is an organization defined by its immersion in the community. Our concerts bring a diverse audience together and contribute to building the exuberance of the local arts scene.Since May 2020, 3VCP has been offering weekly online concerts, called Musicasts, featuring musical content created uniquely for the digital space. Musicasts can be accessed through a free ticket reservation on our Eventbrite page and enjoyed from the comfort of your home.Three Village Chamber Players is a Musicivic organization, an incubator for local professional chamber music organizations. We collaborate with our sister community organizations - currently Ambler Musicivic, Twin Forks Musicivic, Oakmont Musicivic, and Big Sky Musicivic - on our digital programming and platforms; this means we benefit from sharing programming and artistry with other community chamber music organizations, while remaining committed to the vitality of arts experiences in our home community, amplifying the work of local artists, and building a musical community in the Three Village area. Fundraising proceeds directly help to make the Three Village Chamber Players’ programming possible.
