Chamber Cartel, special guest ensemble
The Chamber Cartel is a group of adventurous musicians located in Atlanta dedicated to propagating New and Experimental music. Chamber Cartel was born out of the idea that contemporary classical and experimental music should have a more substantial presence in the Atlanta music scene. Our first concert season, spanning all of 2012, will feature living composers as well as composers of the last half of the 20th century. Our aim is to perform this music in various settings for those that might not have heard or even known of music of this type existing.
Visiting members of Chamber Cartel are:
Caleb Herron, percussion
Amy O’Dell, piano |
