Chicago Chamber Musicians

KPBX 91.1fm, Tuesday, 9-10pm

The Chicago Chamber Musicians were founded in 1986 by a group of prominent musicians and chamber music devotees for the purpose of building an internationally-recognized Chicago institution devoted to the study and performance of chamber music.

CCM reaches more than 500,000 people annually through its
75-plus performance season. Based on the principles of the Marlboro Music Festival, the Artistic Development Program emphasizes weekly study and rehearsal, and is the cornerstone of the organization. The ensemble of 15 artists, together with various internationally known guests, explore selections from the entire chamber music literature, culminating in public performances.
