CWCP
B i o g r a p h y
CWCP is a professional arts organization begun by musicians to champion chamber repertoire.
Begun in 2014 with a generous grant from the Phillips Family Foundation - CWCP has striven to bring high caliber performances to western Wisconsin, playing favorites and great works not commonly known.
CWCP also works with area schools to sponsor coaching and soloists for local concerts.
Before symphony orchestras there were chamber orchestras and even smaller works for a group of musicians that would fit comfortably in a room or chamber. Many composers wrote this kind of music for dinner parties, amateur musician get togethers and challenging soloistic works on a palace stage. Usually commissioned by wealthy patrons, composers wrote for chamber musicians in a medium that is both exposed and demanding.
Melody and harmony are played one instrumentalist per part, yet together in perfect synchronicity moving with the other musicians. The most common and prolific compositions in this medium are quartets - usually encompassing two violins, viola and cello. We also play works with performers from a duet up an octet. This can be 4 violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos or cello and bass.
Please join us for one of our summer series concerts!
