Concert Season 2010 - 2011
The Gallery Players of Niagara Chamber Music Series presents chamber music in the Niagara Region. We organize and perform chamber music in traditional and nontraditional
venues. We focus on informal presentations that
are meant to invite our audiences in, remove barriers,
demystify art and integrate the joy of small-scale musicmaking
in people’s daily lives.
Join us for our 16th Season of great music. On behalf of all
of the Players, we’d like to thank you for supporting fine arts
in Niagara.
