The Friends of Chamber Music Kansas City was established in 1975 and presents 12-15 concerts annually through three distinct series:

  • The International Chamber Music Series presents renowned chamber music ensembles. The Friends is honored to be one of the presenters of the Cleveland Quartet Award winners.
  • The Master Pianist Series brings time-tested, established pianists to Kansas City
  • The Early Music Series includes performers who are dedicated to presenting performances of the highest caliber on period instruments.

In March 2022, the Friends were pleased to welcome Dmitri Atapine, cellist, and Hyeyeon Park, pianist as Artistic Directors for the organization.
