Founded in 1984, the Stanislas Quartet was named after Stanislas Lescinsky, King of Poland and the last Duke of Lorraine, who made Nancy his renowned capital. Alone or as part of a larger group, the Stanislas Quartet and Ensemble became one of the more interesting French ensembles, notable for the quality of their interpretations as well as the originality of programming.
Named one of the top five chamber groups in Colorado by the Denver Post, the Colorado Chamber Players celebrates its 30th Season in 2023-2024. The ensemble has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Chamber Music America Residency Awards (2000 and 2008). The CCP has received awards from the Argosy Foundation, Denver Mayor’s Fund, Colorado Creative Industries, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, Energize Colorado, Xcel Energy Foundation, and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).

Mark Carrington, in the Washington Post, described its performance as “particularly effective.” Since then, the quartet has been regularly re-invited for some series of masterclasses, concerts, and recordings by the universities of West Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, and Wyoming.
