ABOUT THE SHERMAN CHAMBER ENSEMBLE
World Class Music, Close to Home
Founded in 1983 by cellist Eliot Bailen, Artistic Director, and flutist
Susan Rotholz, the Sherman Chamber Ensemble offers a year-round schedule of
performances for all ages at venues in Connecticut and New York.
Guided by its mission to bring world class musicians to our communities and
schools to perform a diverse range of music with an approach that is intimate
and inclusive, the SCE has been described by The New York Times as "about as close
as it gets to the Platonic ideal of a chamber music concert."
SCE offers Baroque programs, a summer chamber music series, educational
activities and a year-round slate of musical events showcasing the best of live
musical performance, from classical to bluegrass to jazz – plus children's and
family concerts, school residencies and pop/rock coffeehouses. In addition to
concert subscription and ticket sales, support for the 2015 season comes from
private foundations, local businesses and many generous individual donors.
