DC Chamber Music Play-in October 11, 2026

About the Play-In

ALL are welcome. Room for up to 35. Event runs from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. with three 75-minute sessions. Space is limited, so RSVP EARLY! (Note: we are full up on clarinets and pianists; e-mail Info@DCCOS1.org to be placed on the waiting list.)

We do ALL the work for you
— provide the facilities (seven rooms, two great pianos).
— select the repertoire (you can suggest rep too)
— provide links for e-copy of the repertoire
— match people into ensembles with repertoire

All you have to do is
— show up and meet fellow musicians
— have a great time playing in up to three sets of music

All in a comfortable, casual and non-competitive environment! Prep suggested but sight-reading is OK too.

$30 event fee (before applicable member discounts). An additional $5 off is available with the discount code ACMPDCCM

Your event registration fee is fully refundable if cancelled within four weeks of the event. (This takes a lot of planning, and late drop-outs require considerable rework.) Simply reply to your registration confirmation e-mail to request a refund.

If you have suggestions for repertoire, please e-mail IMSLP links for the music to Info@DCCOS1.org. Bring hardcopy (all individual parts) as well for spontaneous open sessions. Bring a music stand also. The repertoire and schedule, along with links to public domain e-copy of music, will be sent out two weeks before the event start.

This Play-In is made possible, in part, through the support of Associated Chamber Music Players. The mission of ACMP is to stimulate and expand the playing of chamber music for pleasure among musicians worldwide, of all backgrounds, ages and skill levels, by connecting people and supporting chamber music activities for individuals, groups and institutions.
