Emerald City Music

Emerald City Music (ECM) is the Pacific Northwest home for eclectic, intimate, and vibrant classical chamber music experiences. Deemed "the beacon for the casual-classical movement" (CityArts), ECM hosts world-renowned musicians in unique concert experiences in our South Lake Union home venue, 415 Westlake. Catch us on tour also in residence in Olympia,  Bellingham, and New York City.

Founded in 2015, Emerald City Music produces and tours six productions annually. ECM gained recognition regionally and nationally as a major player in the chamber music scene. Artistic Director Kristin Lee –– a touring violinist awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant and who is a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center –– is regarded for her innovative programming that both honors the tradition of chamber music while expanding the genre’s boundary past common limits. Emerald City Music continues and strives to press the boundary of chamber music with innovative programming.
