For 73 years, WCMS has brought to
Westchester first-rate artists, such as the renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma; the
Amerigo Trio with the violinist Glenn Dicterow; the Emerson, Brentano, and
Kalichstein ensembles; and award-winning young talent, including the Dover
and the Ulysses String Quartets.
Our mission is to provide live, world-class chamber-music concerts, support chamber-music performers, and help to sustain the arts community.
Inclusion and Equity Policy for WCMS:
The Westchester Chamber Music
Society is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for
all--an environment where all individuals, regardless of their background,
identity, or abilities feel welcome, have equal access to programs, provide
a range of perspectives from the community, and are treated fairly.
We recognize that chamber music has a rich and diverse heritage. We
commit to representing a range of cultures, traditions, and styles in our
programming. This includes historic and contemporary music from various
backgrounds.
Our venue and parking are accessible; and we recognize that
live-streaming our concerts at very reasonable prices allows us to reach and
serve a broader range of community members throughout Westchester and
beyond, including older adults and individuals with disabilities who may not
attend in person.
