The New England Philharmonic Chamber Players present compositions from New England and abroad to complement the Athenaeum's exhibition "New England on Paper: Contemporary Art in the Boston Athenæum's Prints & Photographs Collection." The performance will demonstrate that music, like works of art on paper, is permeated by a sense of place and context. Players will perform and discuss compelling works by Charles Ives, Bela Bartok, Matt Aucoin, and New England Philharmonic composers Jason Coleman and Emily Koh.


Jason Coleman, cello, is principal cello with the New England Philharmonic. Colman holds a B.A. in music from Tufts University and an M.F.A. in music theory from New England Conservatory.


Jamie Doyle, viola, is principal violinist with the New England Philharmonic and a research fellow at Tufts Medical Center. While majoring in chemistry at Wake Forest University, she received a Presidential Scholarship for her music.


John Lyneis, violin, has been principal second violin with the New England Philharmonic since 2007. He performs frequently in chamber and orchestral ensembles in the Boston area.


Danielle Maddon, violin, is concertmaster of the New England Philharmonic and founding leader of the New England Philharmonic Chamber Players. She performs, records, and tours with groups including the Boston Pops, Boston Baroque, and Emmanuel Music.


Registration begins April 24 at 9 am.

The Athenæum's five galleried floors overlook the peaceful Granary Burying Ground, and, as Gamaliel Bradford wrote in 1931, "it is safe to say that [no library] anywhere has more an atmosphere of its own, that none is more conducive to intellectual aspiration and spiritual peace." The building was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
