Bringing extraordinary chamber music to downtown Elgin and the Fox Valley region

As Chamber Music on the Fox enters its second decade, we continue our tradition of serving the Fox Valley community by presenting innovative, immersive, and engaging programs in beautifully intimate venues throughout Aurora, Elgin and St. Charles. We’re also honored to enter the second year of our partnership with the historic Woodstock Opera House.

We open our 11th season by welcoming back the dynamic KAIA String Quartet in a celebration of Latin American women. The rest of our subscription series will feature a vast variety of world class musicians and masterworks of the chamber music repertoire, including Johannes Brahms’ Horn Trio, Igor Stravinsky’s Octet for Wind Instruments and J.S. Bach’s Fifth Brandenburg Concerto, to name a few. We welcome CMOTF favorites back to the stage and introduce audiences to new artists and ensembles like the incomparable Zodiac Trio, who will perform a delightful program for violin, clarinet and piano. To round out the season, we couldn’t be more excited to feature the Kruger Brothers and the Kontras Quartet, in a program that marries the classical string quartet with the banjo!

Outside of our main subscription series, we are pleased to announce a special one night only concert entitled “CMOTF Goes Baroque!” at the beautiful Baker Memorial United Methodist Church in St. Charles. Join us for an unforgettable evening of baroque brilliance performed by beloved CMOTF favorites! Cellist Sara Sitzer, bass trombonist Mark Fry, flutist Scott Metlicka, violinist Eric Pidluski, bassist Jeremy Attanaseo, and others will bring to life J.S. Bach’s sparkling Brandenburg Concerto No. 5. Soprano Kathleen Monson joins the ensemble on Handel’s stunning Gloria in Excelsis Deo. Don’t miss this chance to experience timeless masterpieces featuring these cherished performers!

Here’s to another decade of making beautiful music together!
