Welcome to the 2016-17 season of the University of Delaware’s Master Players Concert Series...

Last season, our unforgettable concerts featured top ensembles and soloists in brass, vocal and world music. This year, we celebrate the spectacular repertoire of strings, percussion and piano performed by leading musicians.

Master Players' Founding Artistic Director Xiang Gao, performs alongside internationally renowned guest artists in a traditional chamber music concert. SOLD OUT

Viajes Latinos, the 2016 Sphinx touring program, takes the audience on a journey from the tantalizing Argentine tango to the nocturnal imagery of Mexico, from a grand tribute to the great Piazzolla to a final invitation to a Catalan dance. SOLD OUT

Get ready to groove! Directed and co-produced by UD faculty percussionist Harvey Price, this one-of-a-kind concert brings four leading female percussionists from a wide range of backgrounds to Delaware.

Celebrate the season with the Curtis Chamber Orchestra, a conductorless ensemble of advanced young artists from the Curtis Institute of Music, hailed as "one of the world's leading music academies" by BBC Culture.

Born in Seoul, Korea and educated at the Juilliard School, the members of the Ahn Trio—sisters Maria, Lucia and Angella—are redefining chamber music. SOLD OUT

iMusic X celebrates all that the series has stood for with a pops concert that is bigger and better than ever before. Following last year's successful world music concert, the even more daring iMusic X: Encore! features culturally diverse master musicians.

In this concert, Mr. Parker performs a well-rounded program including two beloved Rachmaninoff preludes, Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor ("Appassionata"), Ravel's lovely and mysterious Jeux d'Eau, and three contemporary works.

The season concludes on a high note with the fourth entry in the popular Art of the String Quartet series, featuring an ensemble regarded as one of the best string quartets of our time.
