A lineup of today's most exciting classical musicians will perform rare gems of chamber music repertoire from historically underrepresented heritages, including works by Justinian Tamusuza, Gabriella Ortiz, Gabriella Smith, concluding with Ernest Bloch's boldly original and rapturous piano quintet no.1.

Greenroom Ensemble was founded by American violinist Nathan Meltzer (2023 Concert Artist Guild winner) and violist Devin Moore (Isidore Quartet), with the mission to expand and enrich the classical music landscape and acknowledge the content and context of the art form.
