Since its first concerts in 2011,
the NORTH SHORE CHAMBER
MUSIC FESTIVAL has quickly
grown to become one of the
highlights of the Chicago summer
classical music scene, providing the
North Shore district with inspiring
musical experiences of the same
level of excellence as those found
in the great halls of the world, but
within an intimate environment
that welcomes both connoisseurs
of chamber music and concert
goers who are new to classical
music, all at an affordable price.

Called “an inspired summer event
not to be missed”, NSCMF has
become a magnet for today’s
leading classical artists who travel
here for the opportunity to perform
with each other and work closely
with emerging young musicians
from Chicago and beyond.
