About the Organization
Mallarmé Chamber Players is a nationally acclaimed ensemble of professional musicians, performing in mixed ensembles of three to seven artists. Mallarmé’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 Stéphane Mallarmé, 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, Mallarmé 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, Mallarmé 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. Mallarmé 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 Mallarmé 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.
