MISSION STATEMENT

The Fair Trade Chamber Music Society is a collective of NYC-based musicians dedicated to developing audience connections through highly interactive performances and educational programs featuring a diverse range of chamber music with a focus on inclusive programming.

 

WHY “FAIR TRADE”?

Inspired by the Fair Trade social movement, we believe that properly compensating musicians for their artistic endeavors is not only ethical and fair but elevates the quality of performances and, in turn, the audience experience. We seek to develop audience connections through highly interactive performances and educational programs featuring a diverse range of chamber music with a focus on inclusive programming.
