Chamber music encompasses vast possibilities solo works, sonatas, trios, quartets and many other configurations. The repertory can range from Bach cello suites to “Pierrot Lunaire” or “Metamorphosen.”
But the original intent persists. Music to play in rooms.
Your rooms, or your neighbor’s rooms. Intimate spaces, for music lovers and their friends. And until the pandemic struck, those were the only places to hear the Sheffield Chamber Players.
The Sheffield Chamber Players got formed seven years ago on the house concert model. Including cellist Leo Eguchi, violinists Sasha Callahan and Megumi Stohs Lewis, violist Alexander Vavilov and various guests, the group has performed for small audiences in homes across greater Boston. Unless you are one of the group’s many hosts, or friends of those hosts, you likely haven’t heard of them.
