The National Chamber Players were founded in 2004 and have been the resident chamber ensemble at Episcopal High School ever since.
The National Chamber Players perform four concerts a year in Pendleton Hall, in the Ainslie Arts Center at Episcopal. The concerts feature ensembles ranging from solo instruments to chamber orchestra. Presenting “exceptionally intimate” performances, “played with consummate skill” (The Washington Post), the National Chamber Players are appreciated by critics and their devoted following for their innovative and balanced programs and their virtuoso performances.
The National Chamber Players artists include members of the National Symphony Orchestra, along with prominent chamber artists from the Washington, D.C. area and around the nation.
