Second City Chamber Series brings together many of the finest musicians of the Northwest and beyond to perform the most ancient and most recent chamber music in eclectic programs in some of the South Sound’s most beautiful venues.

Chamber music—music designed to be performed in a small room, or chamber—brings together audiences, musicians, and music in a patio, small concert space or even a large living room. To put this intimacy another way, chamber music is often called “the music of friends.”
