About
Each year, Seattle Chamber Music Society’s Commissioning Club supports the creation of a new chamber music work, which is premiered during our Summer Festival in July.
Whether you are a long-time new music lover or you are just curious about contemporary composition, the Commissioning Club is for you! Open to all, members receive access to 3 celebratory and communal club gatherings which feature lectures about the upcoming commission and the composer. Club meetings are held at the Center for Chamber Music and serves as a chance for new music lovers to spend an afternoon connecting and learning together over refreshments and music.

To participate, members pay a minimum yearly fee of $300. If the membership fee is prohibitive to your participation in the club at this time, please contact Andrew Collins at andrewc@seattlechambermusic.org.
It is through your efforts and participation that Seattle Chamber Music Society is able to sponsor the creation of compelling new chamber music that can be shared with future generations to come. Thank you for joining the club!
Composer Kian Ravaei (b. 1999) is obsessed with notes, and the indescribable feelings they inspire within us. Whether he is composing piano preludes inspired by mythical creatures, flute melodies that mimic the songs of endangered birds, or a string quartet that draws from the Iranian music of his ancestral heritage, he takes listeners on a spellbinding tour of humanity’s most deeply felt emotions.
