About this organization
Mission
Founded in 1986, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society (PCMS) was created to enable audiences from throughout the Philadelphia region to enjoy performances by today's leading chamber music ensembles, and piano, vocal, string, and other recitalists. PCMS strives to make its concerts accessible through a policy of affordable ticket pricing, presents premieres and other special programming, collaborates with other cultural institutions, and presents outreach performances and educational programs. PCMS is a Resident Company of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts and presents concerts also at the American Philosophical Society, Curtis Institute, Settlement Music School, and other venues in Philadelphia. PCMS has also commissioned more than 65 new chamber music works by leading composers.
About
Each season, PCMS presents at least 50 concerts by leading international chamber ensembles and recitalists, artists who would otherwise not appear in this city. The concerts feature a rich diversity of works spanning five centuries, including world premieres and other works by living composers. We maintain a policy of affordable ticket pricing to enable access by people of all ages and from all walks of life. Since its founding, PCMS has presented more than 1,700 concerts and has played a key role in elevating Philadelphia as a major center for the performing arts.
