+ director's note

Time flies when you’re having fun! It hardly seems 10 years has passed since that lovely summer evening when Chamber Music Amarillo offered its first concert. Over the decade since that night, we have enjoyed sharing wonderful music, food, and friendship with every one of you. Join us again as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary here in the Texas Panhandle!

All the best,
David
