For the 2020/2021 season, Happy Hour Chamber Concerts is going online.
Like many other parts of our life in the pandemic we are, you might say, building the airplane while we’re flying it.
We know that nothing compares to musicians and appreciative audiences together for live performance,
but we are doing the best we can to create an experience of Early Music that can help support artists during the pandemic
and give our audience a couple of hours of enjoyment.
We appreciate your patience and support while we develop this online experience for you!

Incessant Hum: Beethoven 2020, at Boulder Public Library Canyon Theatre

by

Colorado Chamber Players presents a world premiere of a new music/theatre hybrid, with a script by Jeffrey Neuman, directed by Mare Trevathan. Today’s concert WILL provide ASL interpretation for the deaf and hard of hearing. The Canyon Theatre is handicapped accessible, but does not offer assistive listening devices.

As the world celebrates the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven, we explore the emotional world that Beethoven experienced, as he lost his hearing and ability to perform as a pianist and conductor.  Two actors, Chris Kendall and Chelsea Frye, perform Neuman’s script, along with excerpts from late works by Beethoven. Directed by Mare Trevathan.

With thanks to the Boulder Library Foundation for co-sponsorship of today’s program!
