Seattle Chamber Music Society was founded in 1982 under the artistic leadership of Toby Saks. SCMS celebrated its 30th Anniversary Season this year and has grown to become one of the most unique arts organizations in the nation. Appointed Artistic Director in 2007, internationally-acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning violinist James Ehnes is our new Artistic Director and will help lead us into the next 30 years.
Each year, SCMS brings extraordinary classical chamber music to new and loyal audience members alike at our Winter and Summer Festivals at Benaroya Hall. Additionally, as an important part of our mission, SCMS brings education and outreach programs to people within our community.
To make all of our work possible, we rely each season on our donors to help fund our work—which includes corporations, foundations, government support, and individual donors, like you. With a budget of approximately $1 million, about 40% comes from ticket revenue and the other 60% comes from individual donor contributions.
Your financial support is critical to the success of SCMS, and we value your investment. SCMS has a 30 year history of being fiscally responsible and has never carried an accumulated deficit.
In these challenging times, your gift is important to SCMS and means more than ever. Please make your gift today and help bring all of our magnificent concerts and programs to life. Every gift makes a difference. Thank you, in advance, for your generous support.
