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!

HELP SPREAD THE JOY OF MUSIC

Join The Board

Black Hills Chamber Music Society has been a volunteer organization since its founding in 1994. We organize and manage our Concert Series, our Outreach Projects and our Collaborations. As a member of the Board of Directors, you would actually be helping to organize and manage a project. This type of volunteerism brings joy to all who participate, as we see the results of our work through the smiles and excitement of the children and the elderly. As for our concerts, we always need help handing out programs and serving refreshments during Intermission.

Volunteer

Volunteering your time can be as valuable to you as it is to the people you help. We are always looking for people like you to help us spread the joy of music throughout our community. We have opportunities for helping us with our programs for children and the elderly. We also always need volunteers to help us during the concerts.
