CMS returns to Alice Tully Hall in July to present the 11th-anniversary season of Summer Evenings on July 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, and 25. Artists from the CMS roster perform programs of chamber music that complement the summer spirit — refreshing, invigorating, and inspiring. This season the series also celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with each program including at least one work by an American composer. Following each performance, the entire audience is invited to a free wine reception with the artists in the lobby.

All tickets are just $20. Once again, CMS is also offering 100 free tickets per performance to the public through TodayTix.
