KWCMS (Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society) began as an informal auxiliary organization to the K-W Symphony Orchestra. We have never been literally a part of the After the first few years our concert activities became quite separate and are now entirely so. While chamber music - string quartets, trios, duos - continue to be our major focus, we also have a very extensive solo piano series, guitar concerts, and various unusual combinations (Indian, Chinese, VietNamese, for instance).

We are financed almost entirely by private donations and box office income. We have ambitions that we hope will be supported by still more funding from individuals - such as our Complete Shostakovich Quartets in October.
