Chamber Music Center

Director, Jan Pfeiffer-Rios

Founded in 1945 and currently under the direction of cellist, Jan Pfeiffer-Rios, the Chamber Music Center gives amateur chamber musicians and singers the opportunity to participate in ensembles coached by professional faculty musicians, live and socialize with composers from the Composers Conference, and play chamber music informally with old and new friends. The shared experience and synergy of these diverse musicians create a unique musical community and a very special musical opportunity for all the participants. In addition, our professional faculty performers will present concerts of traditional and contemporary repertoire featuring the music of ten Composers Conference Fellows. All concerts are free and open to the public. For Summer 2012 registration, click here.
