ATLANTA, Georgia— The Atlanta Chamber Players (ACP) have announced their lineup for the 2024-2025 season, marking the ensemble’s 49th year. Founded in 1976 by Paula Peace and today under the leadership of artistic director Elizabeth Pridgen, ACP has built a reputation as a leading chamber music group, noted for its innovative programming and commitment to both classical and contemporary music.
The upcoming season will feature a diverse repertoire, including works by composers like Beethoven and Brahms and modern compositions by artists like Adam Schoenberg. The ACP will continue its tradition of promoting contemporary American composers, showcasing new pieces that contribute to the evolving landscape of chamber music.
Highlights of the season include a free concert in May 2025, in partnership with Franklin Pond Chamber Music, at Peachtree Presbyterian Church’s Kellett Chapel. This event will feature works by Nicky Sohn, the latest winner of the Rapido! Composition Contest.
