New York City Bar Chamber Music Committee.

The Chamber Music Committee is a committee of the New York City Bar Association. With the Association’s generous support, the Committee organizes and hosts Friday Evening Chamber Music at the Association, a recital series offered one Friday a month from September through June.

Friday Evening Chamber Music at the Association is open to the public—not just lawyers or members of the City Bar—for a suggested donation of $10. The proceeds from these recitals support the work of the Committee and the City Bar Fund.

The Association, founded in 1870, is a voluntary association of lawyers and law students. This beautiful hall, built in 1896, is made available to us by the generosity of the Association. So, too, our wonderful Mason & Hamlin piano, created in 1913/1914. We thank the Association for its support.
