The
Locrian Chamber Players are a group of performers and composers
dedicated to the music of our time. Their concerts are devoted
exclusively to works less than a decade old, and their programs include
both established and emerging composers. They perform contemporary music
without pre-concert discussions and voluminous program notes, believing
that the best music, when presented directly, speaks for itself.
Founded in 1995 by John Kreckler and David Macdonald, The Locrian
Chamber Players have presented over forty world premieres and have given
first New York performances of works by George Crumb, Philip Glass,
Morton Subotnick, Joan LaBarbara, James Tenney, Alvin Curran, George
Tsontakis, Roger Reynolds, Jo Kondo and many others.
