Organizational History

The Chamber Music Society of Salt Lake City was organized in 1967. Its founders were interested in providing Utah with world class chamber music. The Chamber Music Society immediately brought famous quartets to the Salt Lake area, including in its first season the Juillard, Beaux Arts and Lenox Quartets. Community support declined during the 1980s, but the music society adapted to new demands and continues to uphold the tradition of bringing high-quality music to Salt Lake.
