About the Organization
Mallarmi Chamber Players is a nationally acclaimed ensemble of 
professional musicians, performing in mixed ensembles of three to seven 
artists. Mallarmi's mission is to perform music among friends that 
serves to honor the artists and the art of chamber music, to expand 
cultural awareness, and to build bridges in the community through 
education and performance and celebrate the diversity in our community 
by featuring the music of, among others, African-American Asian, Latino, 
Indian, etc. composers and musicians.

Created in 1984, the ensemble's name comes from Stiphane Mallarmi, the 
19th-century French poet and philosopher who believed that true art is 
created through a unity of music, dance, literature and the visual arts. 
In keeping with their namesake, Mallarmi performances are often 
interdisciplinary and have been praised by critics and audiences as 
innovative, eclectic, and of the highest artistic quality.

With the most gifted artists from North Carolina's Piedmont, Mallarmi 
Chamber Players performs programs that include rarely heard works from 
the traditional chamber music repertoire, and celebrate the diversity in 
our community by featuring the music of African-American, Asian, Latino, 
Indian, Middle Eastern and women composers. Mallarmi regularly 
commissions new works by American composers. They create new contours in 
the landscape of chamber music, and develop new models for 
community-based arts organizations.
Currently Mallarmi offers 5 subscription concerts, 1 gala, and over 40 
community and educational concerts each year, with additional private 
events (i.e. weddings, parties, graduations) rounding out the schedule.
