Mélanie is delighted to join the stellar musicians of Manhattan Chamber Players, one of NYC’s finest chamber musicians.

The rest of the program welcomes Guest Artist Violinist Carmit Zori member of Marlboro Festival and the Israeli Chamber Project.

Mélanie joins once again the talented musicians of The Orchestra Now in a project envisioned by fellow harpist Bridget Kibbey, head of the Chamber Music Department at Bard. This performance features TON playing Mendelssohn Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage alongside Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to The Orchestra without conductor but led by Concertmaster Arnaud Sussman from Chamber Music Society at Lincoln Center. A challenging and thrilling project, where Orchestra playing meets chamber music skills.
