The Bowers Program

Formerly known as CMS Two, the program was renamed in 2018 after philanthropist Ann S. Bower donated $5 million to the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the largest individual donation in the organization’s history.[1] Alumni of the program include Inon Barnatan, Lang Lang, Hilery Hahn, Paul Huang, Nicholas Canellakis, Anthony McGill, Alisa Weilerstein, and the Escher String Quartet.

  • The Daniel and Joanna S. Rose Studio is a 115-seat venue which hosts the Rose Studio and Late Night Rose concerts. The Rose also hosts the Art of the Recital series, which features programs curated by the performers, the New Music series, featuring contemporary compositions, Inside Chamber Music, a series of lectures by education director Bruce Adolphe, and frequent master classes by CMS artists. All Rose Studio Events are also live streamed online to a worldwide audience and available on demand up to 72 hours later.

Education Programs

CMS offers a number of learning formats and experiences to listeners, and provides educational opportunities for early career chamber musicians: school-based programs for elementary school students, family concerts, teen-centered programs, master classes throughout the United States and internationally, pre-concert composer chats, and lectures for adults on the season’s repertoire.

Chamber Music Beginnings introduces New York City elementary school children to chamber music. Meet the Music! concerts introduce families to live chamber music through humor and entertainment. Middle and high school students who audition successfully for the Young Ensembles and Young Musicians programs receive coachings from CMS artists and perform on the Alice Tully Hall and the Rose Studio stages at Lincoln Center. Middle and high school students also attend Music Up Close! working rehearsals where they interact with CMS musicians. The Student Producers provides a mentorship program in which high school students from tri-state area schools meet regularly with CMS staff and learn the inner workings of arts management through hands-on activities. The program has received accolades from The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Strings Magazine.[3] Bruce Adolphe’s Inside Chamber Music lecture series offers explorations of season repertoire. CMS artists and guest artists give Master Classes with the next generation of chamber musicians. The CMS online publication Building a Chamber Music Program: A Teacher’s Guide, provides advice and resources to help teachers launch and grow chamber music programs at their schools. A partnership with LG Chamber Music School brings CMS artists and young Korean musicians together annually in a week of chamber music coaching, culminating in a concert in Seoul or New York.

Touring

CMS presents more than 80 concerts per season outside of New York City, including concerts in North America, Europe and Asia.

The current international tour schedule includes performances in China, Korea, Taiwan, Germany, and the United Kingdom (as part of CMS’s annual residency at London’s prestigious Wigmore Hall), with additional performances to be announced. CMS is represented in North America by David Rowe Artists, and in the Far East by Wei Zhou of Weiber Consulting.
