Concert Season 2008 - 2009

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 15th Season of great music. On behalf of all of the Players, we’d like to thank you for supporting fine arts in Niagara.
