Welcome to our 2025-2025 Season
Each season at Chamber Music Hamilton [CMH], we present ensemble music by the master composers of what we call art music, or “fine”, or “classical” music. Artistic Director Michael Schulte often invites players from around the world to perform this music for us. We may be treated to world premieres in the same concert as music that is even hundreds of years old and stood the test of time. CMH concerts are all presented downtown in the open, bright Pavilion at the Art Gallery of Hamilton at 123 King Street West. Regardless of audience size, the layout and flexible seating allows everyone to be close to the performers for an intimate experience of the special dialogue that is chamber music.
Purchase tickets soon for the 2025-26 season. Concerts are hosted at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Tanenbaum Pavilion.
Doors open at 1:30pm and concerts begin at 2:00pm.

Feast for the Senses
Chamber Music Hamilton concerts are Sundays at 2pm in the bright, modern Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Pavilion of the AGH where concerts happen in lots of natural light. With a bar in the concert hall you can enjoy conversation over a glass of wine or have a drink of water in intermission or following the concert. You might like to talk with the musicians. They always enjoy connecting with their audience.. Admission also includes free access to the art exhibits at the AGH so feel free to come early and have a look.
