Hi Deborah,
Have you tried the American Chamber Music Network?
http://www.acmp.net/index.php
I've just moved back to the US after 33 years in Europe, so had almost no contacts at all, and this has helped me to find players in the area. There is a fee, but for me, it's been worth it.
Good luck!Deborah (we have a popular name . . . ) Marshall
