Musicians Fund


The Chamber Music Society is extraordinarily grateful to the following donors who contributed to our CMS Musicians Fund, and to our CMS Board members who matched these gifts until our goal of $500,000 was exceeded. The Musicians Fund directly supports our wonderful artists during the uncertain times posed by the current pandemic. Thank you for your ongoing generosity to CMS and our musicians.
