About UsScheduleArtistsContributeReservations


Welcome

In the heart of historic Brooklyn Heights, the world's finest musicians regularly gather to perform the great works of the chamber music repertoire under the auspices of the Brooklyn Chamber Music Society. Founded in 2002 by violinist Carmit Zori, its artistic director, the Brooklyn Chamber Music Society has already established itself as an important presenter of classical chamber music in New York City. In the warmly intimate chapel at First Unitarian Church, BCMS has presented distinguished performers such as violinists Jaime Laredo and Ani Kavafian, pianist Gil Kalish, and members of the Orion and Guarneri String Quartets, among many others. Experience the thrill of hearing great performances up close in this small, acoustically superb setting.
