Brandon is a vibrant centre for the Arts, and the Brandon Chamber Players was established to offer world-class music to the Westman region, while providing performance opportunities for local professional musicians. BCP's close ties with Brandon University, itself home to a well-known and respected School of Music, means that there are always a host of talented musicians eager for an opportunity to perform in their home town.
Since it's inception in 1998, hundreds of Brandon-area residents have been involved with the BCP as musicians, board members and volunteers, and without their incredible support, the organization would not be the success that it is today!
Brandon Chamber Players is assited by two dedicated groups of individuals; the ARTISTIC comittee oversees the programing of the individual concerts, and maps out the long-term artistic goals for the BCP, and the BOARD OF DIRECTORS oversees the financial aspect of the organization, as well as fundraising and audience development.
