INNER CHAMBER

SEASON: Spring, Fall, Winter

LOCATION: 163 King Street

HIGHLIGHT: The pleasure of chamber music performed by local professional musicians

Inner Chamber events bring you classical chamber music with unexpected twists. The number of performers varies from event to event, as do the instruments, depending upon the theme, chosen composer, and innovation of the evening. Traditional instruments like violin, cello, horn, piano, percussion, bass, oboe, harp, viola, flute, and clarinet are sometimes joined by instruments like the banjo and harpsichord. Dancers, vocalists, and narrators often perform as guest artists.

Most of the performances are held at Factory163, an old, arty building that has been gaining character since 1902. Wooden floors, overhead pipes, special lighting, and draped curtains create a cozy space. The intimacy is matched by friendly repartee by the musicians. The passion they have for their profession is evident as they provide interesting details on what you are about to hear. Casual, comfortable dress by both performers and audience completes the Inner Chamber experience.

Six Inner Chamber events take place Sunday evenings, from October to May. If you buy your tickets in advance, you are provided a buffet meal before the performance. Dinner begins at six o’clock, music at seven. Tickets are available online or at the door.
