Chamber Music Pittsburgh (CMP) was established in 1961 by a group of civic leaders committed to providing Pittsburgh audiences with the opportunity to hear the world’s finest chamber music artists. CMP presents an impressive array of artists via its MainStage series, its eclectic Just Summer series, and its newest Pittsburgh Performs series that features local Pittsburgh artists in unusual venues outside of the traditional concert hall setting. CMP upholds the highest standards of quality programming through the careful selection of diverse artists and repertoire. CMP also strives to ensure that each season features a variety of instrumentation formations, and CMP is also dedicated to commissioning new works.
