The Philadelphia Chamber Music Society (PCMS) presents a rich and compelling variety of chamber music and recital programs performed by exceptional international and Philadelphia-based artists at affordable prices. Founded in 1986, PCMS is a resident company of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts and has presented more than 1,500 concerts, including 65 commissions and world premieres. In 2015, the organization received a Center Advancement grant in support of a multi-year research project into new business models that respond to shifting trends in audience behaviors. PCMS also received Center support to present Departure and Discovery: New Directions at the Apex of Creativity, a trio of concerts from world-acclaimed pianist Jonathan Biss. A 2018 Project grant has supported Emerging Voices: Art Song and Social Connection, a concert series co-curated by tenor vocalist Nicholas Phan, illustrating how the art song form, with its intersection of poetry and music, remains a powerful vehicle for social exchange. In 2021, PCMS received a Re:imagining Recovery grant to make acoustical enhancements and create a livestreaming production room, which will support in-person and online performances at the American Philosophical Society’s Benjamin Franklin Hall.
