One of the world’s most distinguished chamber music ensembles sponsored by a major symphony orchestra and made up of principal players from that orchestra, the Boston Symphony Chamber Players include first-chair string and wind players from the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

The BSCP was founded in 1964 during Erich Leinsdorf’s tenure as BSO music director. The flexibility of the ensemble ensures that it can perform virtually any work within the vast chamber music literature, expanding their range by calling upon other BSO members or enlisting the services of guest artists, who have included such performers as pianists Thomas Ades, Emanuel Ax, and André Previn and vocalists Thomas Hampson, Ben Heppner, Dominique Labelle, and Dawn Upshaw.
