Insight Chamber Players

The Insight Chamber Players, founded by Ericsson Hatfield and Leah Froyd, is an educational collective that enhances chamber music performances through deep listening experiences. They combine expert musicianship with insightful background information, fostering appreciation and understanding of the music. Their concerts explore the works of Bach and Shostakovich, highlighting similarities in counterpoint and expressive range despite the three centuries that separate them. Both composers reflect their cultural, historical, and personal contexts, creating music rich in depth and complexity. Themes of identity, resilience, and the human condition connect the spiritual depth, folk influences, and cultural pressures present in their music, offering a profound concert experience.

Insight Chamber Players will be playing on Sunday, Oct. 13 from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. at Olympic Valley Chapel. Get tickets at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/insight-chamber-players-tickets-848102275737?aff=oddtdtcreator
