Callaway Chamber Project
Music lovers in the Mission Valley are in for a special evening on May 29 as the Mission Valley Live series welcomes the Callaway Chamber Players for an unforgettable concert. This performance at the Ronan Performing Arts Center promises a rich blend of classical excellence and contemporary flair, brought to life by a group of world-class musicians—and joined by a familiar face with deep local roots.
Part of this celebrated ensemble, Ryan Dresen on french horn will be making his hometown debut. Raised in Ronan and educated in the Ronan School District, Dresen’s journey from small-town beginnings to international stages is both inspiring and impressive. His musical talents were nurtured right there in the community, and over the years, he has built a successful career, performing with the Callaway Chamber Players across North America and abroad.
The Callaway Chamber Players are a dynamic ensemble known for their engaging performances and artistic versatility. The group is celebrated for blending traditional chamber music with innovative programming. They create concerts that appeal to seasoned classical enthusiasts and newcomers alike. From the elegance of Mozart and Beethoven’s iconic Piano Quintets to the lively rhythms of Renaissance dances, and the sultry tango of Piazzolla’s Oblivion, this event will celebrate a stunning range of
musical styles. Performed by this dynamic ensemble of primarily wind players, this concert will take the audience on a journey into the rich colors and vibrant energy of these unique instruments..
In sync with Mission Valley Live’s mission to engage with local educators, the ensemble’s members are known for their dedication to the art of chamber music, as well as their passion for music education. This dual focus allows The Callaway Chamber Players to not only perform but also to engage with communities around the world. Bridging gaps between
diverse musical cultures, they foster a deeper appreciation for the art form. Through their innovative programming and educational initiatives, The Callaway Chamber Players are transforming the landscape of classical music, one performance and one student at a time.
Join friends and neighbors on May 29 at 7 p.m. to celebrate music, community, and the incredible journey of Ronan’s own Ryan Dresen. Tickets are $15 at the door.
