==Chamber Music Society of Utica== The '''Chamber Music Society of Utica''' (CMSU) is one of the United States' most venerable institutions dedicated to the presentation of chamber music. Established over 80 years ago, CMSU has built a legacy of enriching the cultural landscape through its annual series of concerts featuring both national and international ensembles of repute. The Society has a commendable track record of showcasing emerging groups, many of which have gone on to achieve significant success in their musical careers. CMSU is celebrated for creating a community atmosphere among its patrons, who have demonstrated their dedication by attending concerts consistently, inviting new audiences, and providing financial support. The intimate setting of chamber music concerts fosters a special bond between the musicians and the audience, a connection that is traditionally celebrated at receptions following the season's opening and closing concerts. However, due to COVID-19 concerns, these gatherings have been postponed for the 2021-22 season. The Society operates without paid staff or office space, relying entirely on the voluntary efforts of its Board of Trustees. The current board, led by President Susanna Watling and supported by Vice President Jan Moore, Treasurer Bob Verkuyl, and Recording Secretary Rand Carter, along with a dedicated group of trustees, oversees all aspects of CMSU's operations. In 2016, the Society commemorated its 75th anniversary with a written history, highlighting its significant contributions to the local and national chamber music scene. This document is available for those interested in exploring the organization's rich heritage. CMSU is headquartered in Utica, New York, and maintains a P.O. Box for correspondence. The Society extends an invitation to chamber music enthusiasts to join their mailing list for updates on upcoming concerts and events. For ticket inquiries, Natalie Combar serves as the Ticket Chair, and President Susanna Watling can be contacted for additional information. The Society also encourages contact via email for further engagement and support. ==Contact Information== * '''Address''': Chamber Music Society of Utica, P.O.
