The Carolina Summer Music Festival 2009

About Us

Celebrating its seventeenth season in 2008-09, the Carolina Chamber Symphony Players (CCSP), also known as the Carolina Chamber Symphony, was founded in 1992 by Robert Franz and a group of fellow musicians from the North Carolina School of the Arts. Franz served as artistic director and conductor of the orchestra for ten years.

Carolina Chamber Symphony Players

Over the past sixteen seasons, the orchestra and its chamber ensembles have delighted audiences with their artistry and excellence; commissioned and premiered new works by some of this country's most gifted composers; featured guest artists of national renown in thrilling performances of chamber music repertoire; and provided exciting music education experiences for students of all ages.

CCSP performs repertoire spanning four centuries, from the Baroque masters to works by living composers. Committed to performing music by American composers, CCSP premiered eight new works in its first thirteen seasons. Works performed during recent seasons range from the world premiere of Lawrence Dillon's "Revenant," a horn concerto written for and premiered by soloist David Jolley, as well as 2007 "Reynolda Reflections" concert featuring chamber works by NC resident composers Robert Ward, Kenneth Frazelle and Dan Locklair.

Since Mr. Franz's departure in 2002, the orchestra has engaged a series of distinguished guest conductors, including Kate Tamarkin, Alfred Sturgis, Robert Chumbley and David Wiley.
