Onyx Chamber Players    The Onyx Chamber Players, based in Seattle and Chicago, are gaining recognition for their fresh interpretations of masterworks from the Classical era. Onyx combines a unique blend of early music performance style with the brilliance and virtuosity of modern instruments. Their goal is to perform with a transparency of sound and clarity of musical concept, peeling away much of the 20th century heaviness that has infused many readings of these masterworks. Audiences and critics alike have hailed their musical energy, the exciting chemistry among the players and the musical intensity Onyx brings to their performances.

    Onyx Chamber Players are known for their insightful programming, presenting performance cycles of the complete works of Beethoven, Mozart and Brahms for piano trio and piano quartet at Town Hall Seattle. Their Mozart cycle in 2007 was featured in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (please see article on the Reviews page) and Town Hall praised their Beethoven cycle performances as "freshly minted." Onyx Chamber Players have been frequent guests on the radio, appearing live on KUOW-FM and KING-FM in Seattle.

    Onyx is pleased to be featured on Seattle OnHold. *Seattle OnHold* plays music by some of Seattle's best artists on the city phone system and website. We hope you don't have to wait long when calling for a city service, but if you are on hold, you'll be able to listen to a diverse selection of Seattle's best musicians. Listen to Onyx and other Seattle artists at www.seattle.gov/onhold.

    "These gifted artists and their rich display of these jewel-like works lift us into that glowing world of special illumination which music lovers dream of and only seldom find." - Bernard Z. Friedlander, Concert Reviews Online
