… following a wonderful series last fall, this spring series feaured: Jonathan Swensen, cello, with Adam Golka, piano; the Jerusalem Quartet; and the Pacifica Quartet with Orion Weiss, piano.

Help spread the word about chamber music’s return to Westchester
Our new brochure for the 2022-2023 season is published and ready to be displayed throughout the county. Help us build awareness by sharing the PDF file or printed copies.
Supporting Classical Musicians in a Time of Need
Donations from our supporters and a grant from ArtsWestchester made it possible for us to present streaming performances during the pandemic. These limited run engagements provided some income to professional musicians who were deprived of their livelihood during this painful period. Friends Of Music Concerts is an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to advancing chamber music in Westchester County, New York. We hope you’ll join the community. You can participate in our Facebook group to spread the word and consider a donation. We had a full schedule for fall 2021 and spring 2022, and hope to see you at another full schedule of seven concerts for fall 2022 and spring 2023, as shown at the top of this page.
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything. — Plato
