Classical Music Matters

Since its first concert in 1992, Ensemble Monterey Chamber Orchestra has enjoyed gratifying critical response.

"You no longer need to drive around the Monterey Bay to enjoy the musical offerings of John Anderson's Ensemble Monterey. The elite chamber orchestra has just inaugurated a concert series in Santa Cruz. . . "

"Ensemble Monterey, John Anderson’s elite chamber orchestra from around the Monterey Bay, is a well-kept secret in Santa Cruz. But it deserves to be told."

Phyllis Rosenblum
The Santa Cruz Sentinel

"It's easy to understand why many locals adore Ensemble Monterey. These players are professional, smart, dedicated musicians from our region who present appealing repertoire in thoughtful, imaginative programs. Now they've proven they also have wonderful senses of humor and theatrical savoir faire."

"We are very lucky on the Central Coast to be able to enjoy the collaborative excellence and professional talent of Ensemble Monterey, Cantiamo and Stephen Tosh."
