Boston Chamber Music Society

Of the many wonderful ensembles in and around Boston, the seasoned musicians with BCMS are the absolute finest. The members are all prominent figures for their respective instruments, serving as esteemed faculty at the Boston/​Cambridge area universities/​conservatories. The guest artists are internationally renowned soloists: Lucy Chapman, Steven Copes, Jonathan Crow, Jennifer Frautschi, Narek Hakhnazaryan, Benjamin Hochman, William Purvis, etc.
BCMS often performs at top venues like Jordan Hall and Sanders Theatre. The works they program are exquisitely polished. Some truly exceptional BCMS performances I have heard recently include Röntgen: Lyrische Gänge; Beethoven: Grosse Fuge, for Piano Four Hands; Penderecki: Sextet (2000); Harbison: Piano Trio No. 2; Kurtág Hommage à R. Sch[umann], for Clarinet, Viola and Piano; Ligeti: Trio for Violin, Horn and Piano, Hommage à Brahms.
Also, the member musicians and guest artists are so friendly and personable. After each concert BCMS hosts a wine and cheese reception at the venue which performers and audience members always enjoy!

This is a fantanstic place to catch a bit of classical music.
I attended a show right before the Holiday season.
It was so delightful to hear the selection of pieces ranging from arrangements for flute, viola, cello to one for clarinet and the piano piece by Tchaikovsky was beautiful.
The multitiered seating was a surprise for such a small building.
I am really considering coming back for more shows later on in the season.
