Giving

An invitation to support

For 57 years, the Chamber Music Society of the Carolinas has brought world-class chamber music to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Piedmont.

Our performances don’t take place in grand halls, but in smaller, closer spaces where you can hear a bow change and feel a phrase turn.

In a loud and distracted world, intimacy matters. Our gatherings offer a chance to step away from the noise and to listen, connect, and be present with the music and the people who share the experience.

Our supporters make this work possible.

Join us in growing something more thoughtful and more connected with each season.

Chamber Music Society of the Carolinas is a program of Warren Wilson College, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit college. Your generous financial contribution to Chamber Music Society of the Carolinas supports the cultural and artistic mission of this organization, to foster shared experiences of joy, creativity and transcendence through world-class chamber music. Thank you!

The Great Experiment has always been the idea that art belongs to everyone. Great music, played honestly and without pretense, has no regard for background or circumstance - joy belongs to all!

Every gift, at every level, is part of that experiment.

There is no minimum contribution to something that matters.

Additional Levels of Support

Participate in our thoughtful arts community and receive invitations to patron events

Benefactor - $1,000+
Advocate- $500+
Friend- $100+

Support takes many forms. A gift of $100 and a gift of $10,000 are different in size, not in intention. Both say: “this is worth sustaining.”

Both make the next season possible.

We are grateful for every one.
