Violinist Curtis Macomber Joins Walden Chamber Players

Walden Chamber Players is pleased to announce that distinguished violinist Curtis Macomber, a frequent guest artist with the ensemble in recent seasons, has joined its roster. Mr. Macomber is one of the most versatile soloists/chamber musicians before the public today, equally at home in repertoire from Bach to Babbitt.  As member of the New World String Quartet from 1982-93, he performed in virtually all the important concert series in this country, as well as touring abroad.  He is the violinist of Da Capo, a founding member of the Apollo Trio and the newest member of the Manhattan String Quartet. His most recent recordings include: a solo recording ("Casting Ecstatic"), on CRI; the complete Grieg Sonatas on Arabesque; an all Steve Mackey record ("Interior Design") on Bridge, and the complete Brahms Sonatas, also for Bridge. Mr. Macomber is presently a member of the chamber music faculty of the Juilliard School, where he earned B.M., M.M., and D.M.A. degrees as a student of Joseph Fuchs. He is also on the violin faculty of the Manhattan School of Music, and has taught at the Tanglewood, Taos and Yellow Barn Music Festivals.

Walden Chamber Players is comprised of thirteen dynamic artists in various combinations of string, piano, and wind ensembles. The wide variety of instrumental groupings possible with this ensemble allows for great versatility and eclectic programming, a hallmark of the Walden Chamber Players. Founded in 1997, the Walden Chamber Players present educational curricula and concerts in a format that highlights the belief that music is the human experience translated into sound.
