The Feldman Chamber Music Society

about-the-feldman-chamber-of-music

The Feldman Chamber Music Society endeavors to bring the best in chamber music to Hampton Roads.  Originally founded in 1946, the Feldman Chamber Music Society supported the Feldman Quartet, organized by noted string teacher I.E. Feldman, for thirty-nine seasons.  Since the 1986-87 season, the Society has presented nationally and internationally acclaimed chamber groups.  The Feldman is funded through membership support, individual ticket sales and the generous contributions of its friends and sponsors.

The Feldman Chamber Music Society is a non-profit charitable 501(c)(3) organization, and all contributions to both the Operating Fund and the Endowment Fund are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by law and IRS regulations.

The Operating Fund meets 50% of the need of each and every concert. Contributions in any amount are welcomed and deeply appreciated.

In order to add long-term funding stability to the Feldman, the Board of Directors of the Feldman Chamber Music Society established an Endowment Fund. This fund is administered by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, which invests the money together with other such funds under its administration to provide both income and capital appreciation. This income has provided an ever-increasing percentage of our need. Contributions to the Endowment Fund may be made in any amount and will be recognized in our program.
