Composer Robert Vuichard presents an evening of new works and arrangements premiered in collaboration with the newly minted Broadway Chamber Players in this, the culminating program of his Exploring the Metropolis Con Edison Composers’ Residency at Bloomingdale Music School. Robert has worked with a roster of artists that includes the Yale Glee Club, Westminster Choir, St. Petersburg String Quartet, NOTUS: Indiana University Contemporary Vocal Ensemble, and playwright Craig Lucas. His music has seen performances in Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium and Weill Recital Hall, Cathedral Notre-Dame, the Berliner Dom, and Symphony Space, and Robert’s music is published with both Boosey & Hawkes and GIA Publications. Robert has most recently been chosen a composer fellow at the Hermitage Artist Retreat in Englewood, Florida.
Broadway Chamber Players comprises the finest instrumentalists, composers, and conductors across classical, jazz, and new-music fields, all unified by the common thread of performing on Broadway. BCP seeks to continue Broadway’s great tradition of live music by bringing its musicians from the pit to the stage, further enriching the Theater District concert scene by programming diverse chamber-music concerts and providing a fresh approach to hearing some of New York City’s finest musicians in an intimate setting.
