Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
Sunday 1pm

The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS) is one of twelve constituents of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the largest performing arts complex in the world. Along with other constituents such as the New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet, Lincoln Theater, and The Metropolitan Opera, the Chamber Music Society has its home at Lincoln Center, in Alice Tully Hall.

Through its performances, education and recording/broadcast activities, it draws more people to chamber music than any other organization of its kind. As the nation’s premier repertory company for chamber music, CMS is committed to bringing audiences the finest performances of an extraordinary body of repertoire, dating as far back as the Renaissance and continuing through the centuries to the finest works of our time.

As a compelling and dynamic means of artistic expression, chamber music has always inspired composers to create some of their finest works. Today, CMS actively supports composers’ efforts. In its 39-year history, CMS has commissioned over 135 new works from a formidable array of composers, including Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein, Morton Gould, Keith Jarrett, and many others.

The Chamber Music Society also supports the work of living composers by awarding the Elise L. Stoeger Prize, a cash award given every other year to an outstanding composer of chamber music.
