LeDroit Chambers Players
A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation. These gatherings often consciously followed the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate". Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th and 18th centuries, were carried on until as recently as the 1940s in urban settings. However the salon associated with with the LeDroit Chamber players is by invitation only. You can still catch the group playing in various places in the D.C. area.
The LeDroit Chamber Players are a variety of classical musicians who are eager to demonstrate the highest level of artistry through classical music performance and establish beneficial connections with the communities of Washington, D.C. Their mission is to collaborate alongside unique venues and local artists to bring community members together and inspire progress and compassion for one another. In order to fuel this inspiration, The Ledroit Chamber Players believe that flexible programming and diverse venues will encourage unique and enriching atmospheres during their performances. They are open to working alongside venues such as: schools, homeless shelters, retirement communities, libraries, museums, galleries, coffee shops, restaurants, farmers’ markets, and neighborhood porches or living rooms.
The LeDroit Chamber Players are musicians from the National Symphony Orchestra, the elite United States Military Ensembles, the Washington National Opera Orchestra, and other prestigious institutions, all of whom are committed to the idea that every event is an opportunity to engage with the community through creative partnerships and virtuosic performances. Founded in LeDroit Park, The LeDroit Chamber Players take inspiration from the community’s artistic lineage, iconic architecture and important historic past.
