St. Cecilia Music Center
CMS’s residency with St. Cecilia Music Center began in 2012 and has grown into a long-standing partnership. Founded in 1883, St. Cecilia Music Center is a cultural anchor for Western Michigan, known for its historic venue and superb acoustics that provide an ideal setting for chamber music.
Through this partnership, CMS curates and presents the Center’s chamber music series, working closely with the Center to shape a three-concert residency. The series plays a central role in bringing exceptional chamber music to audiences across West Michigan and in building a sustained and recognizable CMS presence within the community.
"St. Cecilia Music Center is honored to partner with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the brilliant artistic directors David Finckel and Wu Han. Having the most important chamber music organization in the country visit our hall three times per year offers exquisite performances to a loyal and dedicated audience base in Grand Rapids which has grown dramatically over the years. It is a privilege to host the amazing musicians of CMS and we are so proud of this partnership." -Cathy Holbrook, Executive & Artistic Director, St. Cecilia Music Center
