Value-Oriented Chamber Music Organizations
In this time of limited financial resources, in terms
of funding for the arts and discretionary income, we are fortunate to
have a number of Southland Arts organizations dedicated to providing
top
quality Chamber Music performances at a reasonable cost or free of
charge.
In the hope of providing support to those
organizations, the following list represents a list of those
orgnanizations that are deserving of Chamber Music lovers'
patronage and attendance. All organizations here provide
top quality Chamber Music concerts at a very
affordable ticket price or free of charge.
