The Met Orchestra Chamber Ensemble
The always-evolving Met Orchestra Chamber Ensemble features musicians from the legendary Met Orchestra in a variety of unique programs. Together, along with special guest artists from the Metropolitan Opera and beyond, they explore a boundless world of chamber music, adapting to fit the instrumental needs of any piece—from all-time classics to hard-to-find hidden gems and standout works by many of today’s significant composers. In this Sunday matinee, they perform works by American composers Caroline Shaw, Price, Beach, G. Walker, Barber, and John Adams, joined by Yannick Nézet-Séguin as pianist and conductor.
