University Chamber Players - Department of Music

The University Chamber Players creates the opportunity for music majors and accomplished non-majors to learn and perform the standard chamber music repertoire while receiving intensive faculty coaching. The ensemble strives to fulfill the following goals:

foster an appreciation for the genre of chamber music
allow students to understand and experience the nature of small ensemble playing
provide an official avenue for chamber music performance within the Department of Music
expose students to a repertoire and musical activity that they can pursue (as professionals or amateurs) long after the university years

Each term concludes with a public performance given in Person Recital Hall on the UNC campus, and additional off-campus performances are given on a regular basis. For more information or to join University Chamber Players, contact the director, Prof. Donald Oehler (dloehler@email.unc.edu).
