Chiarina Chamber Players

Founded in 2015 by pianist Efi Hackmey and cellist Carrie Bean Stute, Chiarina — a hybrid of chamber music series and self-presenting performer collective — brings distinctive chamber music performances and innovative programming to an intimate neighborhood setting in the historic residential sector of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Recognized in the Washington Post for putting on “some of the most compelling chamber music programs in town” and noted in the Washington Classical Review’s Critic’s Choice (2023-24) and its Top Ten Performances of 2022 and 2021, Chiarina is the recipient of grants from Chamber Music America, Mid Atlantic Arts, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and the Capitol Hill Community Foundation, including that organization’s inaugural Franzén Award for the Arts. Chiarina’s performances are regularly featured on Classical WETA’s Front Row Washington.
