DOLCE SUONO ENSEMBLE has been thrilling audiences and invigorating the music world since its founding by flutist and Artistic Director Mimi Stillman in 2005. Hailed as “an adventurous ensemble” (The New York Times) and “One of the most dynamic groups in the US!” (The Huffington Post), the ensemble presents critically acclaimed chamber music concerts on its home series in Philadelphia, performs on tour, commissions important new works, makes recordings, and engages in community engagement partnerships.
Dolce Suono Ensemble (DSE) strives to enrich and inform people’s lives through chamber music, with a core group of artists performing and presenting chamber music concerts on its “Dolce Suono Ensemble Presents” series in Philadelphia, performing touring engagements, recording, and engaging communities through outreach initiatives. These include “Música en tus Manos” (“Music in Your Hands"), DSE’s ongoing project with the Latino community of Philadelphia, and outreach partnerships with Philadelphia public schools and educational programs. In DSE’s curatorial vision, concert programs are built around themes that set music in its broadest cultural context.
Dolce Suono Ensemble’s core values are artistic excellence in performing standard repertoire and building the repertoire through commissioning important new works, engagement, accessibility, and life-long learning.
