Our Mission
Ashmont Hill Chamber Music is a community-based organization founded in 1985 to provide an accessible and affordable
concert series for the residents of Dorchester and its surrounding communities, to create new audiences for chamber music,
and to strengthen the sense of community among the audience, volunteers, and musicians who come together at each concert.
The Series features a core group of Boston musicians who collaborate with guest performers from throughout New England, the nation, and Europe.
AHCM musicians and guest artists are affiliated with organizations such as the Boston Symphony, Boston Musica Viva, Emmanuel Music, COLLAGE contemporary Ensemble, Cantata Singers, New England Conservatory and Boston University. In addition to its Dorchester performances,
AHCM has given concerts at Boston’s First Night celebrations, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, The Goethe Institute,
and on WGBH and WCRB radio.
