Welcome

In 2010-2011, we will be celebrating our 31st year presenting world-class chamber musicians to enthusiastic audiences in the Mid-Hudson Valley.

Concerts are presented in Rhinebeck at The Church of the Messiah, an 1897 Gothic edifice with superb acoustics.

Each concert is preceded by an informal talk and followed by a reception with the artists.



We would like to introduce the new Artistic Director of Rhinebeck Chamber Music Society.

 

Nancy Donaruma is newly retired from the New York Philharmonic, where she has spent the last 31 years as a cellist. She attended the University of Iowa, Yale and the Mannes College of Music. In 1969, she won the Minnesota Young Artists Competition. Prior to joining the NY Philharmonic she was a member of the New Jersey Symphony and the New York City Opera Orchestra. She was principal cellist at the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra in Washington, D.C. She made her solo debut at Carnegie Recital Hall in 1973. She is active in chamber music and has recorded for Musical Heritage Society.

We are very excited to have Nancy lend her expertise and enthusiasm to RCMS.

 

 

We wish to thank Charlotte Dinwiddie for her leadership and guidance over the past years. Charlotte  was instrumental in expanding the RCMS performance and outreach programs. We thank her for all of her efforts and hard work on behalf of the Society.
