Looking for people to play with?

One of the biggest barriers to chamber music can simply be finding other musicians to perform with — so we created a Musician Collaboration List to help make those connections easier.

We already have 42 musicians on our Collaboration List. If you're looking to form a string quartet, or have an oddly specific ensemble in mind, you can probably find the right people on this list. And it's filterable by preferred location (Wichita, Hutch, or both).

To help protect musician privacy, the list is hosted in a password-protected section of our website and only includes musicians who have opted in to be listed.

If you’d like access to the list, send us a message for the password.

Interested in being added to the list? Reach out and let us know:
• your instrument(s)
• what kinds of collaborations you’re looking for
•Your email and preferred event location (Wichita or Hutchinson, or both!)

We’d love to help more musicians connect and make music together.

Some best friends take girls’ trips.
Some perform chamber music together at a brewery.
We support both.

Elyssa Astegiano - Clarinetist and soprano Marial Mortimer Isaac bring to Bach & Brews at Tor Brewing, joined by pianist Gene Philley.

Elyssa and Marial met as students at Friends University and somehow turned a college friendship into the full package: weddings, European travel, coffee dates, neighborhood walks, and “aunt to my son” status.

Their set features the rare pairing of clarinet and voice — something chamber music honestly doesn’t do often enough. Wind players spend years studying vocal phrasing and expression, so hearing the two side-by-side creates a kind of musical conversation you rarely hear.

Also, it turns out years of friendship are pretty good for ensemble playing.
Who knew.

Catch them this Thursday at Bach & Brews

Bach & Brews returns to Tor Brewing on Thursday, May 14!

This month at Tor Brewing: harp, bassoon, clarinet, voice, and piano — aka the kind of instrumentation that makes classical musicians say, “Wait, who programmed this?”

Featuring
🪉Camden Hyder, harp
🎤Elyssa Astegiano - Clarinetist, Marial Mortimer Isaac, voice, Gene Philley, piano
🎶 Alex Johnson, bassoon

This event is packed with combinations we rarely get to hear in an intimate setting.

There’s something about hearing harp up close that catches people off guard. It’s not background ambiance or Renaissance Faire music. In the hands of a player like Camden, it’s rhythmic, colorful, expressive, and honestly kind of mesmerizing to watch. People spend half the set trying to figure out how one person is making that much sound happen at once.

One of the other highlights: clarinet and voice sharing the stage. Wind players spend years trying to sound like singers, but actually pairing the two together at this scale is surprisingly uncommon.

Add all of that together, and suddenly you’re sitting in a brewery questioning why we don’t do this all the time.

Harp in a brewery? Yes, please. 🪉🤯❤️

We’re thrilled to welcome harpist Camden Hyder to Bach & Brews at Tor Brewing on May 14, after two unforgettable appearances at Beethoven & Beer in Hutchinson. We’re excited to have her at our Wichita event!

Camden brings a rare mix of jaw-dropping musicianship and genuine warmth to every performance. One moment, you’re sipping a beer in a brewery — the next, you’re completely transported by the sound of the harp.

Trust us: this is not an evening you’ll forget.

Thinking about performing with Classical Revolution ICT, but not sure if you “fit”? Hint: Yes, you do.

Some of the FAQs we get from musicians:
🎻“Do I have to play Bach or Beethoven?”
Nope. You can perform everything from Baroque to contemporary works — including original compositions and unusual ensemble combinations.

💵“Is this paid?”
Yes! All performances are paid gigs.

🎶“Do I need to already have an ensemble?”
Not necessarily. Many groups apply together, but we also keep a musician collaboration list if you’re looking for people to perform with. Message us for access to this list on our website, or to be added as a collaborator.

🎤“What’s a performance like?”
Most performers present a ~30 minute set in a relaxed venue setting and share a few brief comments with the audience throughout the program.

🧑“Do I have to be a full-time professional musician?”
No. We work with professionals, students, educators, freelancers, community musicians, and everything in between.

🤝“What kind of groups are you looking for?”
Honestly? A little bit of everything. Standard chamber groups, niche instrument combinations, solo performers, contemporary music, early music, crossover projects — if you care about it, we probably want to hear about it.

We’re actively booking performances in Wichita and Hutchinson. Sets are available! See upcoming dates and our sign up form at
