One of the beautiful things that grew out of the hardship of the recent pandemic was more conversation and a desire to reconnect with each other in new ways—

As artists, we had time to sit back and think more purposefully about the kinds of music we not only aligned with more fully, but wished we could make more time for.

We longed to connect with audiences again in a different way.

Out of that conversation came the realization that many of us felt a similar way about wanting to be more in control of the kind of music we shared. And we missed chamber music in our daily life.

We quickly discovered we had similar dreams of building a new collaborative, community-centered, friend-focused, and creative music experience.

A summer concert in 2023 set our dreams in motion and Lake Pepin Chamber Music was born.
