THE NATIONAL CHAMBER PLAYERS have been the resident chamber ensemble at Episcopal High School since 2004. Made up of members of the National Symphony Orchestra and other prominent artists from the Washington, D.C. area and around the nation, the National Chamber Players perform four concerts a year in Pendleton Hall, in the Ainslie Arts Center. The concerts, featuring ensembles ranging from solo instruments to chamber orchestra, are appreciated by the school community, critics and a devoted following for their innovative and balanced programs and their virtuoso performances.
