Our Mission
The Santa Barbara Chamber Players (“SBCP”) was created during the pandemic when local musicians joined together to play for each other as live performances were cancelled throughout the region. Our aim is to grow audiences for chamber and orchestral music by bringing affordable, professional-quality musical performances of listener-accessible music to Santa Barbara County, especially for those under-served by other higher-cost options, such as students, seniors, and families. We offer free tickets to K-12 students and invite experienced high-school musicians to play with our orchestra. All concerts will be presented with local musicians taking advantage of the deep pool of talent in the Santa Barbara area.
The Santa Barbara players aim to provide low-cost tickets for all concerts and complementary tickets for K-12 students. Ticket sales only cover about 30% of our costs, so please support our mission by donating. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, and your donation may be tax deductible.
