The acclaimed Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS) is one of eleven constituents of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, which includes the New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet, and The Metropolitan Opera. Offering a multi-generational and international roster of the world’s finest chamber musicians, CMS presents chamber music of every instrumentation, style, and historical period during a full season in New York and national and international tour seasons.
Since 2004, CMS has been led by its renowned artistic directors, cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han, named Musical America’s Musicians of the Year. David Finckel and Wu Han are also founding artistic directors of Music@Menlo, the San Francisco Bay area’s premier summer chamber music festival and school.
