Master Players Concert Series

A Message from the Director and Advisory Council Chair of Master Players

Dear friends,

WELCOME to Master Players’ 21st season featuring many of the world’s top musicians. After selling out every concert last season, we hope you will use the information on our website to reserve your 2024-2025 Season concert tickets for in-person or live stream experiences.

WE ARE HONORED to work with the UD leadership to bring memorable musical experiences to the community of Newark and University of Delaware.

OUR MISSION is to present great live performances, provide music education to students and the general public, and create new music. For millennia, music has unified people and made them feel part of something greater than the sum of their parts. Our 2024-2025 season events celebrate that unifying power. We endeavor to provide our audiences with a space for reflection and comfort, helping them experience commonality through music, during this divisive time. In this world of conflict, we hold the hope that peace is on its way to all people on this Earth.

WE HAVE PROUDLY offered top-notch musical experiences at an astonishingly affordable price for over 20 years. This season, we have been compelled to revamp our pricing structure due to the increasing cost of bringing high-quality international artists to you. This is not a decision we made lightly, and we hope you will continue to enjoy our concerts which still cost far less than attending a world class concert in any major city in the U.S.

PLEASE SUPPORT this beloved concert series by making a donation on our website. On behalf of our Advisory Council members and staff, we thank you for valuing music, that most beautiful and most universal language. We look forward to seeing you at our concerts.

Yours in music,
