Chamber Music Kelowna (CMK) 2026-2027 Concert Series
The Chamber Music Kelowna Society’s purpose is to provide the community with opportunities to experience live chamber music in intimate settings as performed by accomplished musicians at all stages of their careers.
What is chamber music?
In chamber music each player or singer has a part all his own: he/she does not play or sing the same part as other performers, as he/she would in a chorus or the string section of an orchestra. A chamber work may be for one person as in a piano sonata, or for as many as twenty, as it’s a work for chamber orchestras or wind ensemble.
