ARTS AT TENRI

Music and the Spoken Word

The Tenri Chamber Players are thrilled to announce a new chamber series, “Music and the Spoken Word” at the Tenri Cultural Institute, NYC!

The Tenri Chamber Players (TCP-NYC) is a new chamber music ensemble performing at the Tenri Cultural Institute of New York City. Founded by distinguished performers, faculty, and graduates from the Manhattan School of Music, Mannes Conservatory and the Juilliard School, it is a testament to the power of collaboration between artists of varied generations, genres, and backgrounds through the transformative powers of music. Rising from the ashes of COVID-19 the Tenri Chamber Players unique series will present “Music and the Spoken Word” with well known speakers. The series is held in a less formal atmosphere in the midst of the Union Square and Greenwich Village neighborhoods, an area underserved by classical music concerts.

YOU ARE INVITED!

Arts at Tenri invites you to enjoy chamber music in an ideal setting. Explore the sounds and music of both East and West in an intimate setting with excellent acoustics and accessible ticket prices. Conveniently located near Union Square on 13th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues.

Arts at Tenri offers a unique opportunity to experience two traditions on the same series. Just as European palaces in the 18th and 19th centuries had their court musicians, so too did the Japanese Imperial courts. Today, the music from both of these traditions continues to enchant, and Arts at Tenri offers the best of each.
