WELCOME to The Little Chamber Music Series That Could!

We are an organization committed to creating unique, free public performances and large-scale, inclusive community projects and events, combining contemporary classical music with other diverse art forms.

The Little Chamber Music Series That Could Society is a non-profit whose mandate is to support diverse artistic practice through the creation of distinctive, free public events that engage new communities and audiences with innovative Canadian music combined with other art forms. It is run by Molly MacKinnon (Managing Artistic Director).

We hire diverse BC composers, musicians, choreographers and other artists of high professional calibre; we hire proactively across lines of age, ethnicity and gender to promote diversity in arts communities; we pay artists professional (CADAC, Musician’s Union) rates to support those communities. We believe it is important to reflect the community we live in through the work we create and the artists we hire to bring that work to our audience. Since 2013 we have ensured gender parity in our commissioning of new works and in the performers we present.

Little Chamber's artistic vision is based on 3 main beliefs:

1- That performing arts of the highest professional standard need to be presented in more barrier-free settings (including financial), and more re-contextualized public venues in order to open our work to the broadest possible audience.

2- That by creating events tied to real stories, the community, or our communal past, we can create projects of depth and emotion, bring more dimensions to the new music we perform, and draw people to our events that are outside the usual performing arts audience while providing our existing audience with thought-provoking and innovative work.

3- That combining new music with other art forms creates stronger presentations and events, and that collaboration with artists from other disciplines is paramount to our continued growth and evolution.
