    Phoenix Chamber Music Society


    Comment on Facebook

    The Phoenix Chamber Music Society opened its first season in 1961 with a series of four concerts at the Phoenix Art Museum, performed by a quartet of Phoenix Symphony Orchestra members. That fall, the society brought three touring groups to play before sold-out audiences at Longview Elementary School and, before long, Kerr Studio. Louise Kerr (1891-1977), an avid chamber music player, was a founder and enthusiastic supporter of the Society. She, and co-founder, Lewis J. Ruskin, who initiated the actual direction of the Society, proved to be a very disparate, yet magical team and, in 1975, the Society membership outgrew the Studio and moved to the Scottsdale Center for the Arts, where the society continues the commitment to local heritage by bringing the finest chamber music in the world to the Valley.
