Frisson: Blending Tradition and Innovation in Classical Music

Frisson features some of today’s brightest stars of classical music and, in just a few seasons, has become one of the most popular chamber ensembles in America. The group brings together emerging young artists and distinguished professionals, many of whom have appeared at renowned festivals including Marlboro, Verbier, Spoleto, and Mostly Mozart, as well as in performances at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Several members have participated in Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect program, with alumni now serving as principal players in leading ensembles such as the Cleveland Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.

Praised as “the classical group that does it all,” Frisson offers dynamic programs that span an array of ensemble combinations — from winds, piano trios, and piano quartets to octets and nonets. Their repertoire ranges from masterworks to lighter fare, with programs featuring Gershwin, Cole Porter, John Williams, and Astor Piazzolla, as well as their own celebrated version of Peter and the Wolf.

Since its founding, Frisson has performed more than 100 concerts across the United States and abroad. Recent and upcoming engagements include appearances at the Morgan Library and Museum (New York City), the Da Camera Society (Los Angeles), the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Bermuda Festival, Newport Classical, Syracuse Friends of Chamber Music, InConcert Sierra, Chamber Music Marin, El Camino College, Sarasota Opera House, Woodstock Town Hall, the Mann Center in Fort Myers, and the Palm Springs Concert Association.
