Hailed for daring and intelligent programming, uncompromising artistry and spirited performances, the Seattle Chamber Players (SCP) enjoys a growing international reputation. For eighteen years, SCP’s four core members—Laura DeLuca, clarinet, David Sabee, cello, Mikhail Shmidt, violin, and Paul Taub, flute—have been passionately dedicated to introducing rarely performed and previously unheard contemporary chamber music of the highest quality to the Pacific Northwest and audiences worldwide. The ensemble’s work has been recognized with the First Prize ASCAP/Chamber Music America Award for Adventurous Programming (2007).

DeLuca, Sabee and Shmidt are key members of the Seattle Symphony; Taub is Professor of Music at Cornish College of the Arts. Dr. Elena Dubinets, currently Artistic Administrator for the Seattle Symphony, leads research and programming as the ensemble’s Artistic Advisor.

SCP’s history is marked by its commitment to the music of our time. From its commissioning of works by leading world composers to collaborations with the most prominent American and international creative artists, the ensemble has established itself in the vanguard of the contemporary music world. SCP has introduced many prominent composers to the Pacific Northwest, including Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, Aaron Jay Kernis, Valentin Silvestrov, Peteris Vasks and John Zorn. SCP’s four international festivals—Icebreaker I: New Voices from Russia (2002), Icebreaker II: Baltic Voices (2004), Icebreaker III: The Caucasus (2006) and Icebreaker IV: The American Future—brought dozens of international guests to Seattle and received multiple favorable reviews. The ensemble has made multiple appearances in Eastern Europe, including performances at the Cold Alternativa (2002) and Moscow Autumn (2003) festivals in Moscow, the St. Petersburg Sound Waves festival (2003), and in concert at the Estonian Concert Hall in Tallinn (2003). In September 2005 SCP participated in the Warsaw Autumn festival in Poland and MusicFest in Kiev, Ukraine. In May 2005 SCP was in residence at University of San José, Costa Rica. ISCP was in residence at Cornish College of the Arts four times and had a one-week residency at the Marrowstone Music Festival in 2006. In November 2006, the ensemble participated in East-Ovest festivals in Italy and performed in Russia. In addition to multiple grants from American and international foundations and corporations, including the NEA, Argosy Foundation and many others, the ensemble was awarded the coveted Siemens Foundation grant for 2006.
 
SCP has been featured in the award-winning radio program Saint Paul Sunday with Bill McLaughlin in a concert recorded in Seattle in January 2005 and broadcast internationally on April 10, 2005. The ensemble’s first CD, Otis Spann: Music of Wayne Horvitz, is available on the Periplum label and its latest recording, Reza Vali’s Folksongs (Set No. 15), has been released on Albany Records. Recordings of music by Henry Brant and from the Baltic countries are in preparation.
