Mission

For 75 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 pricing 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.
