Launching its inaugural season in the fall of 2011, the Atlantic Chamber Ensemble is a dynamic group of young professional musicians based in Richmond, Virginia who are members of the Richmond Symphony and faculty members at institutions such as Virginia Commonwealth University, the College of William and Mary, and the University of Richmond.
While showcasing the talent of the Richmond area on the national stage through recording and touring, our mission is to build new connections and audiences with the people in our own community via innovative programs and community interaction, as well as through partnerships with local organizations.
With our unique combination of strings, winds, and piano, we have the ability to program a variety of different styles of music and can include works seldom heard for their use of less traditional instrumentation.
Not only presenting treasures of the past, we are committed and excited to find current composers whose music is accessible, interesting, and enjoyable for the people in our community.
