With a mission to bring classical music to east-side audiences, the Willy Street Chamber Players returns with its signature summer series featuring three ticketed concerts at Immanuel Lutheran Church. Guest players include pianist Michael Mizrahi on July 8, bassoonist Eleni Katz on July 15, and soprano Emily Birsan on July 29, performing material ranging from very vintage (J.S. Bach, Brahms and Mendelssohn) to modern (Rhiannon Giddens, Jake Heggie, Augusta Read Thomas). The ensemble also performs a free community concert on July 22 at Orton Park.
