FRISSON ~ Chamber Music Marin

Frisson, definition: '“a shiver or a thrill", a sudden feeling of excitement.'

"..musicians showed both individual brilliance and collective versatility.” — Borrego Sun

A chamber group with the range of an orchestra minus percussion, the nine-member Frisson Nonet is a string quartet with bass, plus a woodwind quintet.  Frisson features the best and brightest of classical music's stars and in just a few seasons they have emerged as one of the most popular chamber music groups in America. The group showcases emerging young artists as well as seasoned professionals. Many of the members have performed at the Marlboro, Verbier, Spoleto, and Mostly Mozart festivals as well as at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Several of the members of Frisson have been chosen to be part of Carnegie Hall’s prestigious Ensemble Connect program and many have gone on to hold principal positions in such ensembles as the Cleveland Orchestra and Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
