Temple Chamber Players: The Russian Soul in Three Voices

Join us for an evocative afternoon with the Temple Chamber Players, featuring iconic piano trios by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. In addition to hearing these remarkable works performed live, audiences will gain a deeper understanding of the music and the musicians who bring it to life.

Lois Reitzes, longtime host of WABE’s nationally acclaimed program City Lights, will guide listeners through the program. Her thoughtful questions—together with interview excerpts from the performers—reveal personal stories and insights that illuminate their approach to and connection with the music.

The Temple, one of Atlanta’s most historic institutions, also offers some of the city’s most innovative production capabilities—making it an ideal setting for timeless chamber repertoire dynamically reimagined. This new series brings together Atlanta’s finest artists with renowned international instrumentalists in a visually stunning space.

Through pre-recorded interviews shown before the musicians take the stage, audiences will discover the artists behind the instruments—their influences, inspirations, professional journeys, and even the passions they pursue beyond music.

Large-screen projection will also provide an intimate, immersive concert experience, offering close-up views of nimble playing, expressive artistry, and the subtle nuances that make chamber music so compelling.
