In our 60th anniversary season, Syracuse Friends of Chamber Music continues to bring some of the finest chamber ensembles in the world to perform here in Central New York.
Our "staff" consists entirely of music-loving volunteers like myself. That's how we're able to present concerts of the highest musical excellence at a very reasonable cost.
We invite you to join us in maintaining this proud tradition by coming to the next concert, or better yet, subscribing to the season of seven concerts.
Hope to see you soon.

Emerson String Quartet
We open our 60th Anniversary Season with one of the world's truly great ensembles. Formed in 1976 and last heard with SFCM in 1994, the Emerson has performed and recorded throughout the world to highest acclaim, with eight Grammy awards to its credit. Time Magazine named the Emerson "America's greatest quartet," and The Times (London) declared that "with musicians like this there must be some hope for humanity."
