Praised by the Philadelphia Inquirer as “perfectly balanced” and offering “the virtue of variety” the Marinus Ensemble is a chamber music collective that draws on the best emerging international performers to bring music alive. At the heart of Marinus is a commitment to engage audiences with a distinctive concert approach, giving performances that are both searching and authentic. Our musicians have great training (Curtis, Juilliard, New England Conservatory) and are based out of outstanding organizations (the Metropolitan Opera, National Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, A Far Cry). Most importantly, they have a shared vision of making great music come alive for diverse audiences.Marinus invites artists to team up on creative musical projects around a range of repertoire. Each project leads to a group of concerts that form our performance season. Through the juxtaposition of styles, composers, and instruments, each Marinus concert program reinforces the idea that when we stop to listen, all great music has the power to challenge and enrich our lives. Beyond the concert hall, Marinus is committed to educating all its listeners—creating space for learning through interactive concerts, accessible program notes, and teaching residencies at schools and universities. Their new series MARINUS in the VINEYARD brings world-class concerts to the gorgeous mountains near Charlottesville. They kick off the 2022 season with the several concerts with the GRAMMY® nominated Dover Quartet.Founded in 2010 by siblings Rachel Kuipers Yonan and Joseph Kuipers, the Marinus Ensemble has been ensemble-in-residence at Washington and Lee University and Eastern University, and performs regularly at concert halls and universities around the country. The ensemble is based out of Charlottesville with participating artists from Boston, Dallas, New York, Raleigh and Stuttgart. Recent performances include appearances on the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Curtis Presents, WRTI Performance Studio, and the Chamber Music Raleigh.
