Fans of classical music and the Chamber Music Society will now get the chance to hear them in Saratoga throughout the entire year instead of just the customary summer performances. Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) has announced a new year-round residency for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center that is slated to begin later this year. 2023 marks the 10 year anniversary for this yearly residency, which is now extended throughout the entire year, affirming SPAC’s commitment to providing programming outside of the traditional summer season.
Performances from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center will return to the Spa Little Theatre for the first time since 2019. The next scheduled dates are on October 15, March 18 and May 13 with the summer performances to be announced at a later date. All scheduled musicians and accompanying selections can be found below.
While CMS may have just taken their final bow for the summer, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate the residency’s upcoming SPAC 10th anniversary in 2023 than by extending the scope of what they do in Saratoga.
