WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
WE'RE GLAD YOU STOPPED BY
In 1964 a small group of Rapid City musicians, dedicated to the idea of creating a chamber music society, designed the structure for what is now known as Black Hills Chamber Music Society. For over 54 years we have been bringing beautiful chamber music to our community through Concerts, Community Outreach and Collaborations.
Stop in and take a look around.
We'd love to meet you!
A devoted friend and contributor to the arts, Vic Weidensee, passed away on July 1, 2018. Read more about him and how his life impacted the Black Hills Chamber Music by clicking here.
