The Musicians

Founded in 2004 by artistic director Richard Scerbo, Inscape Chamber Orchestra is pushing

the boundaries of classical music in riveting performances that reach across genres and

generations and transcend the confines of the traditional concert experience.

With its flexible roster and unique brand of programming, this Grammy-nominated

group of high-energy master musicians has quickly established itself as one of the premier

performing ensembles in the Washington, DC, region and beyond. Inscape has worked

with emerging American composers and has a commitment to presenting concerts

featuring the music of our time. Since its inception, the group has commissioned and

premiered over twenty new works. Its members regularly perform with the National,

Baltimore, Philadelphia, Virginia, Richmond, and Delaware Symphony Orchestras and

the Washington Opera Orchestra; they are members of the Washington, DC, military

service bands. Inscape's roots can be traced to the University of Maryland School of

Music, when Scerbo and other music students collaborated at the Clarice Smith Center 

as the Philharmonia Ensemble.

Inscape regularly performs as the ensemble-in-residence at the Episcopal Church 

of the Redeemer in Bethesda, Maryland, as well as at the National Gallery of Art, the

Strathmore Music Center, the Kennedy Center, and other local and national venues.
