If classical music in an intimate setting is your ideal, you won’t find a presenting organization with as many high-quality performances as the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. Created by Anthony Checcia in 1986, the Society hosts more than 60 recitals and chamber music concerts per year, featuring Philadelphia-based musicians and internationally renown artists like violinist Midori, pianists Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Emanuel Ax, and the Juilliard Quartet, to name a few. With 13 subscription series to choose from—ranging from vocal music to string quartets to piano recitals—and ticket prices never exceeding $23 the PCMS strives to make world-class concerts accessible to Philadelphia area concertgoers at venues throughout the city.
