Music Box

Chamber Music LA proudly presents Music Box 2022 – a glorious celebration of chamber music in LA, carefully curated to show the diversity of this passionate and intimate form of classical music. 

Step inside our Music Box and experience a journey through the centuries, with a program that spans Baroque to the modern era performed by celebrated artists and award-winning young musicians. 

Presented by our CMLA members, whose performers will give a flavor of their individual approach to chamber music, this is an opportunity to see six unique, world-class chamber music presenters on the same stage and is not to be missed. 

This performance is dedicated to the memory of Warner Henry, founder of Chamber Music LA and steadfast supporter of chamber music in Southern California. With his wife, Carol, Warner inspired a culture of collaboration across the organizations he touched, and we are pleased to recognize Warner’s vision in bringing all of us together to enjoy the glorious genre of chamber music.
