Amateur Chamber Music Society (ACMS)

ACMS aims to promote the non-professional playing of chamber music. We want to give members the opportunity to meet other players and to play chamber music at whatever level suits them – for their enjoyment, their greater appreciation of music, the improvement of their playing and the formation of musical friendships. The Society is non-profit.
The Society was formed in 1984 by Irwin Imhof, Nils Korner and Judy Mitchell, who believed that there must be a large number of musicians who wanted to play chamber music, but who never had their wishes realised because they did not know how to go about contacting other musicians. From this small beginning, the Society has now grown to a membership of about 300 musicians, spawning similar societies in Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane. Our patron is Rachel Valler OAM.
