Classical Chamber Music & More

The Buck Hill Skytop Music Festival will present a classical chamber music concert on Thursday, August 6, at the Buck Hill Falls Tennis Tea.  The concert will feature Broadway Chamber Players, New York City’s newest chamber music ensemble.

Broadway Chamber Players is comprised of the finest instrumentalists, composers, and conductors across the classical, jazz, and new-music fields. The members of BCP are unified by one common thread — they all perform on Broadway. 

Join this multifaceted ensemble as they present an evening of traditional chamber music. The concert will feature works by beloved composers Claude Debussy, Alexander Borodin, and George Gershwin, and will conclude with the flashy "Introduction and Allegro" by Maurice Ravel. The seven-piece ensemble will include a harp, flute, clarinet and a string quartet. Don't miss the opportunity to spend the evening with some of New York City's most versatile and in-demand musicians!

Join us for cocktails before the show, and meet the artist during a "Talkback" session after the show. To cap off the evening, we will be serving cheese and crackers on the front deck of the Tennis Tea.
