The mission of the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society is to engage our community in a life more beautiful through the shared experience and transformative impact of chamber music, to make great repertoire and today’s leading artists available to everyone wishing to participate, and to build audiences and support for this incredible art form.

Each year, we present a varied season of 50-55 concerts by world-renowned artists—all for just $30 per ticket or less—and 50 education programs to train and inspire young people. We also serve audiences by providing high-quality and personalized service, community outreach, pre-concert lectures, livestreams, curated experiences, and a friendly and welcoming concert environment.

Since its founding by Anthony Checchia in 1986, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society has presented more than 1,700 concerts, commissioned 60 new works, and presented 100 world premieres. Our annual season features eminent string quartets and other ensembles, renowned pianists, great string and woodwind recitalists, an acclaimed art song series, early music, new music, guitarists, a rich diversity of programming, and collaborations with the Kimmel Center (the Society is a founding resident company, with 35 concerts in the Perelman Theater each year), the American Philosophical Society, and other cultural institutions. Yet the Society is far more than a concert presenter. We have deep roots in Philadelphia and throughout the world of music. Our performances are a place of connection and community, where artists and audiences share and enjoy experiences that are fundamentally human, and yet transcendent—where the trivial gives way to the essential, and where we are all connected to a life more beautiful.
