ABOUT THE WESTCHESTER CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY (WCMS)
Each year in Rye, New York, world-class ensembles
perform five concerts
in an intimate setting with exquisite
acoustics.
We are proud to announce the 2024-2025 concert schedule
of WCMS, now in its 74th year.

Dicterow, former long-time
concertmaster of the New York
Philharmonic

playing rarely heard masterworks)

Concerts are in-person and livestreamed simultaneously
to remote listeners with
a recording available for
48 hours after the actual performance.
In-person subscriptions and Online pricing has remained the same this season. However, tickets at the door have been increased $5 over the online price of $40. Becoming a subscriber for all five concerts will now save you $50 vs. buying tickets at the door (or will save you $25 vs. buying individual tickets online). We also have a NEW 3-Concert Subscription that will save money as well.
*New perk: 5-Concert subscribers attending all five concerts in
person will receive a free guest ticket to be used at a concert
of their choice, pending availability of seating for that
concert.
Remote Subscriptions have been raised to $100 per
household for all five concerts ($20 per concert), with tickets
to one concert $30 per household.

Mission
For 74 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.
