Musical Chairs
We’re putting “play” back in playing chamber music with a jam session! We provide the space, some food, and drinks. You can bring your instrument and read a piece you don’t know or bring a piece you’ve been wanting to try playing. This will be a no-judgement event, all skill levels welcome.
Don’t feel like playing? Come for the hang. Cheer loudly, make new friends, enjoy the company.
Why play chamber music?
Chamber music transcends barriers and allows for a rich, inclusive, and collaborative musical experience that can be enjoyed by musicians and music-lovers of all ages and backgrounds.

Promote Collaboration
Chamber music requires close collaboration among musicians. With fewer performers, each player has a significant role, fostering a sense of unity and shared musical expression. It helps to develop skills such as active listening and communication, encouraging deeper connections with others.
-
Diverse Repertoire
The chamber music repertoire spans various styles, periods, and cultures. From classical to contemporary compositions and arrangements of popular tunes, chamber music offers a vast array of musical expressions. This diversity makes it possible for musicians to explore and appreciate a wide range of genres.

Accessibility
Chamber music can be performed in a variety of settings, from grand concert halls to intimate living rooms and outdoor community spaces. This versatility in performance venues allows us to bring chamber music directly to where people gather, helping it become an integral part of our community.

Lifelong Learning
Chamber music can be adapted to accommodate musicians of different skill levels. Whether it's a beginner ensemble or adult enthusiasts coming back to playing their instruments after a long absence, the repertoire can be chosen and arranged to suit the abilities of the performers. This adaptability makes it an inclusive form of music-making.
