Festival Chamber Music is made up of some of New York’s finest musicians who join forces to present much loved masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire as well as new and unfamiliar works in a variety of instrumental combinations.

The performers introduce each piece informally with interesting and informative anecdotes,  with the aim of creating the personal and informal atmosphere for which chamber music was intended.

The concerts are held in the beautiful and intimate Weill Hall in Carnegie Hall.  After the concerts,  the whole audience is invited to a party where they can meet the musicians and socialize with each other.

Come join your fellow Columbia grad students for a wonderful evening of music at the very special discounted ticket price of $10 (full price $28).  Whether you are already a fan of chamber music or if you would just like to try something new,  we guarantee you will have a memorable evening! Please call 212-678-6970 to purchase your discounted tickets. For more information,  please visit www.festivalchamber.org.
