Chamber music

This is the way chamber music was meant to be heard!

The most interesting, and provocative ensemble in town is the Chamber Music Society of St. Louis.  

I am reluctant to comment on this St. Louis gem for fear that too many others will discover it and I will struggle to get tickets. I mean, why would anyone in their right mind want to sit at a table with friends, drinking a glass of wine, while the finest chamber musicians in the city play breathtaking music fifteen feet away? Stay at home and watch Survivor, Part VI so that I may continue to keep this little musical shangri-la for myself.

Beautiful music, expertly played, wonderfully programmed!  An intimate venue that provides a chance to really get to know the musicians and hear them up close, the way chamber music was meant to be heard. A great addition to the St. Louis music scene.  

Keep up the great work with the Chamber!!!  A real gift.

It’s the music! It’s the venue! But wait: it’s also my tablemates!! Can you imagine…… organizes the programs and performers, but also devises a seating chart? I can’t imagine having 2 more compatible listening companions than the ones I’ve met…..! Thank you, CMSSL, for inspiring concerts, and thank you, ………, for just plain fun! Barbara, Ladue

The chamber music concerts are completely unique. I’ve never had the opportunity to experience such superior musicians in such an intimate environment. This is the perfect combination of music,musician and venue – it feels like the concert is for just me and my friends.

We would like to let you know how much we enjoy your concert series. We like the variety in the programming and instrumentation and the accomplished performers. What better way than to take it all in sipping a glass of wine in a relaxed atmosphere.

CMSSL is a jewel in the crown of St. Louis and cherished by its supporters.

This amazing venue puts you ‘up close & personal’ with performers – their discussion before a piece gives me a hint of their emotions. Plus I love that I can see them glance at each other and even smile during a concert…
