nstage/offstage in-person and livestream concerts Vadim Gluzman, artistic director / Angela Yoffe, executive director 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.
