New Orleans Chamber Players RETURN with Romantic & contemporary pieces for brass & voice.

Step into the Marigny Opera House and immerse yourself in a transcendent evening of brass and song that bridges centuries of musical tradition. Featuring the antiphonal splendor of Gabrieli’s Venetian masterpieces, the soaring voice of soprano Claire Shackleton, and the rich textures of Romantic and contemporary works, this concert celebrates the timeless power of brass in a city renowned for its brass band heritage. Experience the vibrant echoes of Renaissance cathedrals, the emotional depth of Mahler and Wagner, and the bold, modern brilliance of the brass quintet in a venue whose acoustics amplify every resounding note. Let the soundscapes transport you and pay homage to New Orleans’ unmatched musical legacy.
