The Walden School Players

Louise Shonk Kelly Recital Hall, Dublin School
Dublin, New Hampshire

7:30 pm Eastern

This concert features innovative performers Laura Cocks (flute), Erica Dicker (violin), Zachary Good (clarinet), Mabel Kwan (piano), Josh Perry (percussion), Kyra Sims (horn), and Chris Wild (cello).

All distinguished musicians and specialists in contemporary music, the Players share their talent and wealth of experience in contemporary music with the Walden community each summer during the course of a two-week residency. Although the roster changes somewhat from year to year, several of the Players have been returning to Walden for many summers and have formed lasting relationships with students, faculty, and staff.

While in residence at Walden, the Players work closely with student composers in readings and rehearsals, giving feedback as students prepare their pieces for Festival Week. Then, over the course of three Festival Week Composers Forums, they perform students’ pieces. In addition to their work with students, the Players present a concert of modern and contemporary chamber music in an event that is always a highlight of Walden’s concert series.
