The Marlbrook Chamber Players will perform their 20th-anniversary concert at Washington and Lee University on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 3 p.m. in the Wilson Concert Hall in the Lenfest Center for the Arts, followed by a reception.

The performance is free and open to the public and no tickets are required.

The Marlbrook Chamber Players is an all-women ensemble based in southern Virginia, and their performances are highly regarded for their variety, depth and richness of emotion. The ensemble includes Anna Billias on piano, Jaime McArdle on violin, and Julia Goudimova on cello; all three members are also lecturers in the Department of Music at W&L.

The anniversary concert promises to be a nostalgic journey through classical masterpieces, and past members of the ensemble — Mark Taylor on violin; Megan Mason, lecturer in music, on viola; and Tim Gaylard, professor of music, on piano — will join the current Marlbrook Chamber Players on stage. The program will feature timeless pieces and beloved chamber works, including Alexander Borodin’s Piano Quintet and Felix Mendelssohn’s Trio. The pieces highlight the rich tapestry of classical music while paying homage to our musical heritage and its enduring legacy.
