Guest Ensembles & Programs
Chamber Music Society
The Chamber Music Society was founded in 1938 and is emerging from our COVID "dark year" to present our 2021-22 concert season. Our primary purpose is to present concerts featuring world class artists in exceptional performances of both well-seasoned and cutting-edge chamber music works.
The first 3 concerts of this season will mark the conclusion of our Beethoven Festival, which has featured the Emerson String Quartet performing all of Beethoven's string quartets. These final 3 Beethoven Festival concerts, scheduled for October 24, December 4 and December 5, will feature all of Beethoven's later quartets, ranging from Op. 79 to Op. 135. Fortunately, before COVID set in, we were able to present the first 3 Emerson String Quartet performances in early 2020, which featured Beethoven's early quartets (Op. 18) and the Razumovsky quartets (Op. 59). The resumption of these amazing performances is not to be missed.
Our performances will continue in 2022 with the Grammy-nominated Imani Winds on February 6 and the return of Eighth Blackbird on March 6.
Each concert is held at 3pm on Sunday in the acoustically-acclaimed Margaret Comstock Concert hall at the U of L School of Music.
Subscription for regular season tickets are $150 ($135 for Seniors 65+) and student season tickets are $15. Single tickets are $40 ($35 for Seniors 65+).
