Mission
The Chamber Music Society's Mission is to stimulate and support the appreciation, performance, and composition of chamber music by presenting concerts for the public.
Program accomplishments
- Musical Performances: CMS annually produces an ambitious season of con certs in our two venues at Lincoln Center in New York, which were spe- cifically designed for the presentation of chamber music. The organiz- ation is comprised of a multi-generational and international roster of the finest chamber musicians, enabling us to present chamber music of every instrumentation, style, and period. Our concerts feature though- tfully curated performances of masterworks and important works by a diverse range of contemporary and living composers. CMS also conducts outreach to diverse audiences in New York City, and provide unpara- lelled career building opportunities for outstanding early-career musicians.Expenses $5,349,367 · revenue $2,234,780
- Touring: Each season CMS pursues a vigorous touring schedule across the United States, North and South America, Europe and Asia. While on tour our artists give master classes, coachings, and lectures for local students and audiences. In addition to long standing residencies CMS strives to bring chamber music to places where it is less common and strengthen interest where a tradition of chamber music already exists.Expenses $2,127,240 · revenue $1,167,211
- Education: Each year, thousands of children and adults participate in CMSs education and community engagement programs. For adults, we offer master classes, pre-concert composer talks, lectures on season repertoire, and entertaining program notes that enhance audience enjoyment.
