The Downtown Chamber Series was founded in 2000 by musicians seeking a new approach to live chamber music in Phoenix, Arizona.
Instead of performing in traditional venues like concert halls and churches, our concerts are held in urban galleries and
warehouses amidst visual art. The project hosts five chamber music programs each year, exploring a wide diversity of chamber
music ranging from string quartets by Beethoven and Bartok to large percussion works by Steve Reich. The concerts are
exciting experiences for the performers and audience alike, always unique, changing with different venues, musicians,
and exhibitions. In 10 years we have performed over 80 concerts in 14 different galleries, all of which were produced
by the musicians and artists involved. A major goal of ours is to keep live music affordable to all, at $15 a ticket,
and we now offer free seats to full-time students. The concert goers, musicians, and committed visual artists in our
community have defined this series, giving all involved a sense of place and pride in our city. Join us!
