Sometime in 1981, a small group of musicians approached me with the idea of presenting a few chamber music works for friends and families. From that idea, three decades of great chamber music performances have unfolded.

We recently celebrated our 30th birthday, with understandable pride in our accomplishments. But the best is yet to come. I invite you to join us for our 2012-2013 season, perhaps our most exciting schedule to date. I look forward to many more years of sharing this extraordinary music together.
