World-Class Chamber Music in a Welcoming Environment,
Right Here in Southern New Jersey
“We always look forward to these concerts. They never disappoint.”—Cheryl D. from Medford
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.
2020–21 Concert Series
With state and local regulations constantly evolving, the 2020–21 season of concerts will be announced one by one as the year unfolds.
Join us for our next free, live-streamed concert on Saturday, March 20 at 7:30 p.m. ET, featuring works for string quartet and quintet.
