The Santa Barbara Chamber Players will present a fundraising concert, 3 p.m. Saturday, July 18 at Trinity Lutheran Church, 909 N. La Cumbre Road.

Proceeds will support the ensemble’s upcoming season. Tickets are $25 and are available at sbchamberplayers.org and at the door.

Program highlights span the 19th and 21st centuries, showcasing a range of chamber music colors and styles including:

• Gioachino Rossini — “Duet for Cello and Double Bass in D major” (1824): An early-romantic duet by the operatic Italian composer, this work is light and charming.
• Carl Reinecke — “Trio for Piano, Oboe, and Horn in A Minor, Op. 188” (1887): This piano trio, from Reinecke, a prolific German, mid-Romantic era composer, offers yearning choruses and witty dialogue between the oboe, horn and piano.
• Osvaldo Golijov — “Lullaby” and “Doina” (2001): From contemporary Argentinian composer Golijov, the two pieces fuse classical chamber sensibilities with folk and improvisatory elements. “Lullaby” offers tender, evocative Yiddish lyricism. “Doina” draws on the plaintive, improvisatory tradition of Eastern European and Romani music.
• Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov — “Quintet for Piano and Winds in B-flat Major” (1876): An early chamber work by the master orchestrator Rimsky-Korsakov, the Quintet balances bright wind colors with virtuosic piano writing.

The Santa Barbara Chamber Players is a local ensemble offering classical music performances.
