Who we are...
.
The Atlantic Chamber Ensemble is a dynamic group of professional musicians based in Richmond, Virginia comprised of members of the Richmond Symphony and artist faculty at institutions such as Virginia Commonwealth University, the College of William and Mary, Louisiana State University, University of Oklahoma, and the University of Richmond.
While showcasing the talent of the Richmond area on the national stage through recording and touring, our mission is to build new kinds of connections with the people of our community via innovative programming, formats, venues, and community interaction, as well as through partnerships with local organizations.
With our unique combination of strings, winds, and piano, we continue to program and commission a great variety of musical styles for forces both large and small, with a firm commitment to programming works seldom heard due to their unusual instrumentations.
Our vision...
Each season we strive to create a series of chamber music events that allow musicians and audience alike to come into contact with the music, with one other, and with themselves in meaningful and sometimes surprising ways.
Our mission...
It is our passion to find ways of making classical music relevant to the 21st century audience by providing a framework for authentic human experiences of the art.
