The Fountain Chamber Music Society has rapidly established itself as one of its generation's most accomplished and versatile chamber music groups. Its recent seasons have included a sold-out Carnegie Hall recital debut, critically acclaimed performances at Zankel Hall and West Palm Beach's Kravis Center, and concerts throughout the United States. The Ensemble has won Artists International's New York Debut Award and also received honors at the Concert Artists Guild and Chesapeake Chamber Music Competitions.

Individually, Fountain's members are among New York City's most active chamber music players, and have performed at some of the country's most distinguished institutions.

Fountain has frequently premiered new works, and in 2006 commissioned two new quintets with Tango and Klezmer influences. The Fountain Chamber Music Society, an innovative group of up to 15 players, enjoys an ongoing collaboration with The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall, including numerous performances for children as well as recordings for films and an interactive website.

All events take place at the Foundation House, unless otherwise noted. Programs subject to change. Click here for directions.

Kosciuszko Foundation programs are supported by the Mary F. Koons Charitable Trust, the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), the Tadeusz Solowij Literary Fund, and the KF Cultural Fund.
