From the City of Sugar Land:
The Sugar Land Civic Art Division’s fourth week of the Summer of Sound 2024 will feature Monarch Chamber Players on June 22, from 7-10 p.m., at Oyster Creek Park, 4033 Highway 6.
Monarch Chamber Players is a collective of Houston-based professional musicians dedicated to bringing classical chamber music out of the concert hall and into accessible community spaces. Founded in October 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Monarch performs over 80 concerts annually, bringing classical music directly to Houston neighborhoods.
The ensemble’s mission is to make classical music accessible to all by performing in diverse venues such as parks, farms, gas stations, schools, traditional indoor venues and front porches. Monarch has been featured in prestigious concert series including Cypress Creek FACE Promenade Series, Houston Methodist Center for the Performing Arts Crain Garden Series, and Bayou City Art Festival, as well as prominent Houston venues like POST HTX, Zilkha Hall, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.
Collaborations with ensembles WindSync and Kinetic have enriched Monarch’s past seasons, while special programming for holidays and cultural celebrations further diversifies their repertoire.
Monarch Chamber Players’ musicians — comprising winds, strings and percussion — are internationally acclaimed professionals who perform with top orchestras worldwide and hold degrees from prestigious music conservatories, including Houston’s Rice University.
Admission to the concert at Oyster Creek Park is free, so don’t miss this opportunity to experience the beauty of live classical music in a picturesque outdoor setting.
For the best parking experience, use the lot at Lost Creek Park, 3703 Lost Creek Blvd., and walk to Oyster Creek. Parking will also be available at Oyster Creek, but spaces are limited and may fill up quickly.
