Apple Hill Chamber Players' "Playing for Peace Project" to Visit Holy Cross

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Apple Hill Chamber Players will perform in the Brooks Concert Hall at the College of the Holy Cross on Monday, Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. The performance is free and open to the public.

Founded in 1973, the Apple Hill Chamber Players represent one of America's most highly respected performing ensemble traditions. Internationally known for vital, elegant and eloquent performances, their chamber music literature ranges from 18th to 20th century masterpieces, to new and commissioned works by leading composers.

The Apple Hill Chamber Players have dedicated themselves to promoting peace worldwide by participating in the Playing for Peace Project. Stemming from Apple Hill's core belief that the language of music has the unique ability to transcend national and cultural boundaries, the Playing for Peace Project provides an ongoing model for cultural exchange relevant to all areas of the word beset by conflict.

Annually since 1988, the Apple Hill Chamber Players have toured the United States, the Middle East, Europe and other parts of the world, performing concerts and "playing for peace." The dramatic story of the 1992 Apple Hill Chamber Players tour of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria was documented by Emmy award-winning Peter Rosen in the namesake PBS film and video Playing for Peace, seen by over four million viewers.
