In celebration of its 75th season, Chamber Music Columbus will present six shows beginning Oct. 8.
Since 1948, Chamber Music Columbus has brought 428 concerts, featuring 1,035 musicians, to central Ohio. Chamber music is unique in that it’s composed of a small group of instruments. Typically, only one performer plays each part.
Furthering the intimate musical experience, Chamber Music Columbus holds its performances at the Southern Theatre, the oldest surviving theatre in central Ohio. The combination of history and musical intimacy creates a one-of-a-kind experience for guests.
See the complete season below. All performances take place at the Southern Theatre.
