Mission Statement

To provide the public with exceptional performances of chamber music repertoire from the Baroque era to the present day while fostering understanding and appreciation of the artform, making it more accessible to all.

About This Cause

The Boston Chamber Music Society, BCMS, presents the most extensive and longest-running chamber music series in New England. Founded in 1982, BCMS is an ensemble of superb musicians who come together in different combinations to prepare and perform chamber music. Over the last four decades, BCMS has built a reputation for impassioned performances, ripened over time by the long personal and professional histories of its member musicians. BCMS invites guest artists, chosen for their particular affinity for, and mastery of, the works they will play, to join the members on stage, expanding the artistic possibilities to virtually all works in the chamber music repertoire. To actively contribute to the creation of our art in our time, BCMS established the BCMS Commissioning Club in 2012 and has since commissioned and premiered one chamber music work each season written for its artists. Beyond the concert stage, BCMS musicians offer open rehearsals and masterclasses to students from educational institutions at various levels, and coach participants of all ages in the annual chamber music workshop to deepen their enthusiasm for the genre. Its hybrid fellowship program in cooperation with the New England Conservatory’s Entrepreneurial Musicianship department engages young musicians to serve as interns in the office to learn the basic inner workings of running an ensemble or concert series and to perform with the ensemble in concerts and community events. The BCMS Teaching Artist Program at the Somerville High School provides the SHS String Orchestra students weekly coaching as well as free access to its concerts.
