The Chamber Music Network presents an annual celebration of chamber music at the Cincinnati Art Museum every September. This tradition began in 2007 with a huge success and a lot of enthusiasm.

The 2009 ChamberPalooza will be held on September 12, 2009 from 12:00 - 4:05 P.M. at the Cincinnati Art Museum. During that afternoon you can attend chamber music sampler concerts for free. Bring your family! There will be special activities for children, such as a musical instrument "petting" zoo. Drawings will be held throughout the period for tickets to chamber music events, CDs, Tshirts. It's fun, it's free, and there's something for everyone!

Many of the groups performing are members of the Chamber Music Network. You'll be able to hear them play, as well as a wide variety of chamber groups, from classical to jazz to choral. Member organizations that present concert series in Cincinnati will be available with brochures for the 2009-10 chamber music season. Great time to find out what concerts you'll be able to see and hear next season! See pictures from 2007 Palooza....
