Kassia Ensemble: The dynamic group of women that form Kassia Ensemble strives for more inclusive gender and racial representation in the world of chamber music.

Based in the Pittsburgh area, its members hold positions in the Pittsburgh Opera and Ballet orchestras, the West Virginia Symphony, the Wheeling Symphony, and the Erie Philharmonic. The seven-member ensemble is composed of the traditional string quartet, double bass, clarinet, and harp. This unique instrumentation allows for quite a bit of variety in programming. Concerts range from charming duos such as Andrea Clearfield’s Three Songs for Violin and Double Bass and Shulamit Ran’s Private Games for Clarinet and Cello to larger-scale works like Andre Caplet’s Conte Fantastique.
