The Ritz Chamber Players transcend cultural boundaries and amplify the rich mosaic of our society through the universal language of music. Our mission is to showcase diversity by spotlighting the extraordinary artistry of African American musicians, past and present.

African Americans currently represent less than 2% of musicians in American orchestras and even fewer within its audiences.
Just as the lines on a musical staff guide the melody, the Ritz Chamber Players desire to guide the future of classical music by intertwining our Innovative Mission and fresh artistic initiatives. We seek to redefine traditional arts participation to reflect our multicultural society. Join us in breaking boundaries and Redefining the Lines of creative expression.
