Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Benicia Chamber Players (BCP) will establish a consistent presence as the only classical music series solely devoted to live chamber music performances in Benicia, Pleasanton, and Vallejo. New leadership in 2019 stimulated BCP’s fresh vision for regular concert seasons. Significant improvements include securing fiscal sponsorship from Intersection SF, launching a dedicated website and email address for BCP, and expanding its roster of East Bay performers. Unfortunately, the pandemic has hampered BCP’s growth, resulting in a concert hiatus from January 2020 to May 2022. To overcome this setback and realign with our vision, funds will be allocated for advertising, fiscal sponsorship membership renewal and project fees, printing posters and programs, sheet music purchases, staff salaries, venue insurance and rentals, and website and domain fees.
Organization Summary
BCP core programs and services are to:
-provide a series of ten classical chamber music concerts of five unique programs for our annual fall to spring season
-curate thoughtful, thought-provoking and fresh programs that balance well-loved works with more unfamiliar works by underrepresented composers
-support local professional musicians in the Bay area by creating chamber music performance opportunities
-cultivate a musical community of local and other world-class professional musicians in the East Bay area
