2025-2026 Chamber Series Schedule
Experience music on a more personal level with CityMusic’s Chamber concert series – where small groups of musicians gather to create intimate musical experiences in the heart of Cleveland’s eclectic Collinwood neighborhood. From the moment you step off the street into Praxis Fiber Workshop, you’ll be immersed in a powerful moment of beauty and reflection in a busy world, experiencing music in its purest form: the subtle emotions and brilliant skill of each individual performer, the subtle emotions in every note, and the shared connection in the room.
