Organized by

North Country Chamber Players

The North Country Chamber Players have been impacting the North Country of New Hampshire for over forty-five years. The Players present world class chamber music concerts, on a Pay-What-You-Wish basis, and many free education and outreach programs for children and adults of every demographic at schools, community centers, summer camps, libraries, and local businesses throughout the North Country.  As ambassadors for the arts, representing New Hampshire, the Chamber Players performed in a national tribute to the great Brazilian composer Hector Villa Lobos at New York City’s Merkin Concert Hall, presented a nine-concert series, “An American Chamber Music Retrospective,” under the auspices of the MacDowell Colony’s Centennial Anniversary celebration, and have been the subject of feature articles in the New York Times, the Boston Globe and Ski Magazine.
