If the Willy Street Chamber Players are playing, it must be summer. The neighborhood group, founded by graduate students, puts on an entertaining and ambitious program of classical music aimed at the Williamson/Marquette neighborhood. The season starts with an adventurous (and free) outdoor concert at Orton Park on July 5 featuring mostly 21st century pieces, one 20th century and Mendelssohn’s Four Pieces for String Quartet. Following Friday concerts are July 12 at the WYSO Center for Music, July 19 at Immanuel Lutheran Church, and July 26 back at WYSO; all shows at 6 p.m. See the full programs at willystreetchamberplayers.org.
