Chamber Music Society of St. Louis

CMSSL chamber music concerts are performed in an informal cabaret-style where audiences can enjoy a beverage at their table while listening to some of the finest musicians in St. Louis performing in the intimate environment of the Pillsbury Theatre at the 560 Music Center.

Chamber Academy
Chamber music offers a powerful complement to traditional large ensemble experiences by placing students in small groups such as string quartets or piano trios where each student is individually responsible for their part. This fosters accountability, confidence, teamwork, and deeper musical growth, along with meaningful peer connections and mentorship from dedicated coaches. Our partnership with the Arianna String Quartet provides another dimension of support for our students.

Master Class Series
Classes are available to St. Louis area students to perform solo and chamber works guided by CMSSL artists. This program is FREE to students who are enrolled in a school music program, work with a private lesson instructor, or have similar musical guidance.
The Master Class Series serves a diverse group of students representing more than 30 area schools. Classes are held on the UMSL campus in the Creative Arts Building (CAB) (also called Arts Administration Building) 200 Mark Twain Dr, St. Louis, MO 63121.
ALL MASTER CLASSES ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
