ABOUT

ChamberMusicNY was founded in 2012 to introduce New Yorkers to the intimacy of live chamber music.

Established new-music ensembles, world premiere commissions, and New York's emerging classical performers are all a part of the excitement of a ChamberMusicNY concert. From our Britten Centenary marathon in 2013 to this season's six-concert series, ChamberMusicNY presents small ensembles in New York's premier halls...for free. With the help of community programs including Goddard Riverside Community Center, USO-Metropolitan NY, Third Street Music School Settlement, Greenwich House, the YM-YWHA of Washington Heights/Inwood, Fountain House, JCC Manhattan, and others, ChamberMusicNY distributes free tickets to audiences that may be unfamiliar with live chamber music.

Mission Statement

To present free performances of chamber music, small contemporary ensembles, and jazz ensembles to the community and others who may not otherwise be able to experience these cultural events, while employing local musicians and utilizing concert halls and performance spaces in New York.

The Mark Krivit New Music Fund

The Mark Krivit New Music Fund allows CMNY to provide restricted gifts solely for commissioning new music. Commissions include Danielle Eva Schwob's work for harp and string quartet, Lights In The Dark, which premiered at the opening of the 2014-15 season; and a work co-commissioned with The Harlem Chamber Players for orchestra and orator by Grammy-nominated horn player and composer Jeffrey Scott, which premiered in the 2015-16 season, at Merkin Concert Hall.
