About Master Players Concert Series


For more than 20 years, the Master Players concert series has been a beacon of cultural enrichment, bringing world-class music to the University of Delaware and the surrounding community. 

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to education and outreach, ensuring that the next generation of leaders can experience and benefit from the power of live music. One of our flagship initiatives, the Backstage Pass program, supported by generous donors, provides University of Delaware students with free tickets to attend Master Players concerts. This unique opportunity allows students to immerse themselves in the world of music while they are training in their respective fields, fostering creativity and leadership that extend beyond the concert hall.

Additionally, our donor-supported Little Masters Project plays a vital role in the local community by offering free private music lessons and instruments to children from underprivileged families. We believe that music education should be accessible to all, and through this initiative, we aim to nurture the talents of young musicians who might not otherwise have access to such resources. The Little Masters Project reflects our deep commitment to ensuring that every child has the chance to experience the joy and transformative power of music.

As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to expanding our reach and deepening our connection with the community. The generous support of donors and patrons allows us to continue offering world-class performances and educational programs that inspire and uplift. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the Master Players concert series, our history, and the incredible artists who have performed with us.

Thank you for being part of the Master Players family. We look forward to welcoming you to our next concert!
