For over 31 years, The Park City Chamber Music Society has continued to present four different music festivals throughout the year. Enjoy the unique sounds of chamber music artists in the cool outdoor air. You’ll also like the unique talents of solo chamber artists throughout the year.

Chamber music in the park begins on July 6 at 6:00 p.m., and you can enjoy the classical works of world renowned violinists, cellists, and pianists at Park City’s bandstand. In the past, the Autumn Music Festival welcomed violinist Monte Beknap, cellist Cheung Chau, and pianist Doris Stevenson.

Be sure to attend the Best of Beethoven Banquet that takes place in Social Hall at the Park City Community Church. In celebration of the composer’s belated birthday, enjoy the classical music of Beethoven while sampling a delicious dinner and dessert buffet. Be sure to make ticket reservations beforehand, as tickets sell out soon.

On August 3, be sure to take part in Chamber Music in the Park. Autumn Classic Concerts take place from September to October 1-8, 2016. You pay $20 for regular admission and $20 at the door. Seniors who are 62 and above can attend the concerts for free.
