Classical to American Folk and Celtic Music
Years of playing together have given the ensemble the opportunity to develop both a unique style of performance and an exceptionally large and varied repertoire. While rooted in the fundamental works of the classical tradition, the repertoire of the Highland Chamber Players includes widely ranging styles and periods; the ensemble can just as convincingly play a Joplin Rag, a hit Broadway tune, a New Age Celtic Song, or rock ballads from Coldplay and Ben Folds Five as a Mozart quartet.
The Highland Chamber Players offers a wide selection of music that can be programmed to fit a variety of occasions. Many of our popular pieces are original arrangements prepared especially for and by the Highland Chamber Players. With the addition of the harp, musical options are expanded to include traditional American Folk and Celtic music.
