Fairmount
Chamber Ensemble
The Fairmount Chamber Ensemble adds winds, brass, and percussion to a full complement of strings to provide a rich orchestral accompaniment for choral works, dance, theater, and educational collaborations.
Combining a reputation for the highest standard of musicianship with the spirit of positive collaboration, the Fairmount Chamber Ensemble has presented many memorable performances, both alone and with conductors, choirs, and musicians of all ages and abilities.
Committed to education at every level, in elementary school assemblies, high school workshops, a university master class or residency setting, each Fairmount Chamber Ensemble musician finds joy in sharing their wealth of expertise. It is this deep-seated passion that enables students of all ages to shine alongside the professionals.
The Fairmount Chamber Ensemble has performed with the Germantown Oratorio Choir, the Keystone State Boychoir, the Pennsylvania Girlchoir, the choirs of Germantown Friends School, Drexel University, and Chestnut Hill College, and many area church choirs including the First United Methodist Church of Germantown, the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill, the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and All Saints Church in Princeton, NJ.

What is your policy on playing outdoors?
Due to the delicate nature of our instruments, if an engagement is to be outdoors then the area we are in must be dry and well shaded, with temperatures between 65 and 85 F. Please be sure to take the proper precautions for outdoor services, as we will not ask our musicians to subject their valuable instruments to conditions that will damage them.
