of Chamber Music is a nonprofit organization presenting the world's
finest chamber music. This is classical music at its best. Intimate, intense,
warm or challenging, contemporary or classic - we know you'll enjoy
each concert. |

AFCM's Commissioning
Program allows our audience members to sponsor new chamber works
with us. No other music society in the country or indeed globally
has such an active audience supported commissioning program! We have
now created an exciting and unique online resource, where one can
listen to complete performances of our more than 40 commissions,
as well as find out much more about the composers and their works.
Please join us in supporting and celebrating contemporary chamber
music here.
Here Joseph Lin premieres his Trio for Strings at the 2011 Festival. Mr. Lin recently joined the renowned Juilliard String Quartet as the ensemble’s new first violinist. |

As part of our active
education and outreach program,
oboist Allan Vogel gave a master class at the 2011 Festival.
We are delighted to be able to share this with the rest of the
community.
Part 1 can be viewed
to the left. All three parts can be found by going here.
Also, in addition
to audio from all our commissions, we now have videos of several
premieres online. More will be online soon.
