Calliope is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of traditional and contemporary folk music and its allied arts. We believe that music is a language through which we speak, learn, create, and come to know our world, engaging individuals of all backgrounds. Through our programs, we seek to connect people through the particular power of folk music and serve the community through presenting artists from southwestern Pennsylvania, the United States, and beyond, and providing formal and informal opportunities to learn to play music. We present three series annually: Mainstage, Roots Cellar, and Summer at Schenley. We also run the Calliope School of Folk Music, offering classes in fiddle, dulcimer, banjo, voice, and more.

Chamber Music Pittsburgh’s mission is to present world-class chamber music ensembles and soloists, promising emerging artists, and innovative programs; and to foster an appreciation for chamber music in the Pittsburgh community by offering educational programs and experiences. Over the past six decades CMP has continued to realize that vision by presenting an impressive array of the most talented and renowned chamber musicians via its MainStage subscription series, its eclectic Just Summer series, and its newest Pittsburgh Performs series that features local Pittsburgh artists in unusual venues outside of the traditional concert hall setting.
