Pressenda Chamber Players

Presented by the Washington Conservatory of Music

Monday, February 24, 2020 - 9:00pm

The Pressenda Chamber Players, founded by Artistic Director and cellist Tobias Werner, is the Ensemble-in-Residence at the Washington Conservatory of Music. It was formed in 2016 and made its debut on the Washington Conservatory concert series that same year. The ensemble is comprised of a rotating membership of chamber musicians who have for many years enjoyed performing together in various ensembles and festivals in the United States Europe. It is named for Italian stringed instruments maker Giovanni Francesco Pressanda (1777-1854), on whose instruments Werner and violinist Aaron Berofsky play - and it is very likely that their violin and cello were sitting in Pressenda's shop at the same time in 1844.

George Frideric Handel - Violin Sonata in D minor, HWV 359a
