World-Class Chamber Music in a Welcoming Environment,
Right Here in Southern New Jersey
The West Jersey Chamber Music Society has been bringing affordable, classical music performances to audiences in Southern New Jersey for 40 years. Our professional musicians – orchestra and choir – bring their amazing skills and sense of style to the works of leading composers from the U.S. and Europe.
In a typical season, special perks are available for season ticket holders, and children are always welcome to attend free of charge.
“I’m glad we have this quality of music here close by, instead of having to fight the traffic going into Philadelphia.”
Anthony D. from Moorestown
