Who we are
Established in 1982, the Seattle Chamber Music Society’s (SCMS) mission is to foster the appreciation of chamber music in our region by presenting performances featuring world-class musicians in accessible and inviting formats, with an emphasis on developing a broad-based sustainable audience through education and community engagement. Each year SCMS presents world-renowned musicians in fresh, exciting and spontaneous ensemble performances of traditional, contemporary and seldom-heard chamber music repertoire. The Summer Festival presents twelve main series concerts in July and the Winter Festival presents six concerts over two weekends in January, all at Benaroya Hall’s Nordstrom Recital Hall. In addition, the Seattle Chamber Music Society now offers year-round performance and educational programing at the newly opened Center for Chamber Music in downtown Seattle. World-renowned violinist James Ehnes serves as the artistic director of SCMS.
