About Us

Chamber Music Quad Cities' 2024-25 concert season draws to a close with a program of mixed instrumental and vocal music, "Into the Light." The concert begins with dark-hued music by Schubert, Schumann, Alexander Zemlinsky and Ned Rorem. In the second half we move into the light, with a beautiful song cycle by American composer David Conte and the Schumann F-Major Piano Trio. We are delighted to introduce the wonderful violinist Sunmi Chang to the Quad Cities, and to welcome acclaimed baritone Nathaniel Sullivan back to his hometown. The concert will take place at the Trinity Episcopal Parish Hall in Davenport on Sunday, March 16 at 3:00 p.m.

Chamber Music Quad Cities—known familiarly as CMQC—presents classical concert music at affordable prices in comfortable settings. An outgrowth of many years of concert-giving in the Quad Cities by Davenport natives Gregory and Thomas Sauer, CMQC was founded in 1994. Together with pianist Robert Satterlee, the Sauer brothers established Chamber Music Quad Cities as a non-profit, 501(c)3 corporation in that year and began to enlist support from the community that has been consistent to this day. Violinist David Bowlin assumed the artistic direction of CMQC in 2007; upon his departure in the summer of 2017, the Sauer brothers returned as Artistic Co-Directors.

The CMQC concert season runs from the fall through the spring. For information on upcoming events, please see the Concerts page.
