The Con Brio Ensemble is a not-for-profit professional chamber music organization which presents exciting programs of the highest quality. Our concerts feature a variety of instrumental combinations and styles.

"...the performers played these works with just the right rhythmic flexibility and poise, idiomatic flair, and unanimity. The playing throughout was excellent and authoritative..." (Strings Magazine, 1998)
