You’re invited to hear CMS as never before! While we wait for a gloriously transformed Alice Tully Hall to reopen in 2008, you’ll enjoy a season of chamber music in an extraordinarily intimate setting – the Concert Hall at the New York Society for Ethical Culture, Two West 64th Street at Central Park West. It’s just one block from the Plaza at Lincoln Center and praised by David Finckel and Wu Han for its excellent acoustics. (Click here for a hall map.)

Single tickets won’t go on sale till September 1, so order today to guarantee your seats for the concerts you want to hear, and to enjoy a variety of subscriber-only benefits.
