The DC Classical Chamber Music Players' Meetup group is a collection of classical musicians interested in playing chamber music for fun. While good music is the goal, the emphasis here is on fun and enjoyment! As of 10/4/09, we have 140 members, covering 14+ different instruments, at varying skill levels. All musicians of all instruments, at all skill levels except beginner, are welcome to join. There's no obligation to play at any given gathering, but you might quickly find yourself tempted to join in. Many who were reticent to attend, or thought they might just "sit and listen" found themselves playing at their first meeting. Nerves and feeling intimidated can be left at the doorstep. We're a collegial, congenial, non-competitive group; criticism and attitude are not welcome; everyone's best effort is gratefully accepted by all.
Check out the "Calendar," "Members," and "Messages" sections of this website -- you'll learn a lot about our previous events, our members, and communications. The "About Us" section will tell you more about local chamber music resources, our meetings, members, locations, works in progress and more.
Hope you'll join us!

What members are saying
“ I was a little intimidated, and pretty rusty once I played, but I had a great time once I was able to follow along. Met some great people. Can't wait for the next meeting! ”
“ Great opportunity to play some chamber music and meet people you can get together with to play even more - also for instance unusual instrumental combinations. ”
