The Met Chamber Ensemble at Carnegie Hall

The always-evolving Met Orchestra Chamber Ensemble features musicians from the legendary Met Orchestra in a variety of unique programs. Together, along with special guest artists from the Metropolitan Opera and beyond, they explore a boundless world of chamber music, adapting to fit the instrumental needs of any piece—from all-time classics to hard-to-find hidden gems and standout works by many of today’s significant composers. Tonight, as part of Carnegie Hall’s United in Sound: America at 250 festival, the ensemble performs works by American composers Valerie Coleman, Gabriela Lena Frank, Bernstein, and Steve Reich, plus Dvořák’s String Quintet, written alongside the “American” Quartet while the composer was living in Iowa, and Saskia Apon's tricky, jazz-inflected quartet for trombones.

Sarah Vonsattel will be performing alongside her Met Orchestra Colleagues in the Bernstein Piano Trio and Valerie Coleman’s Maombi Asante.
