2025 A Year in Numbers Chamber Music America was founded in 1977 by a group of 34 musicians determined to create a more sustainable chamber music field. In the years since, the organization has grown dramatically, expanding its offerings and its membership to be more inclusive, wide-reaching, and equitable. Today, CMA serves an increasingly diverse constituency— including individual musicians, composers, and educators; ensembles; presenters; artist representatives; businesses; and advocates of small ensemble music—representing a wide range of musical styles and traditions, all united by a shared belief in the power of small ensemble music. Through professional development services, networking opportunities, grant and award programs, publications, an annual conference, and more, CMA supports and shapes an evolving field.
