The Players

The Contemporary Music Players are praised for the high artistic caliber of our musicians. Our roster is among the Bay Area’s leading soloists and chamber musicians. Some belong to pillar institutions such as the SF Symphony, SF Ballet, or the SF Opera, while others are founding members of respected performing ensembles such as the Ives Quartet and Splinter Reeds.  Many are esteemed area educators, holding professorships at Stanford, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, UC Berkeley and Mills College, among others. The majority of our musicians perform and record with their own chamber ensembles and are involved in other musical and outreach pursuits throughout the region. All are devoted to the excitement and adventure of new music.
