About Us

Chamber Music Quad Cities opens its 2024-25 concert season with "In C," an exploration of music in a key. The Serenade in C major by Ernö Dohnányi and Brahms' C Minor Piano Quartet anchor the program. Korean composer Unsuk Chin's piano étude "In C" gives the program its title. This is only piece on the program, however, that's not actually in the key of C. Short piano pieces in both C major and minor will round out the program. The concert will take place at the Trinity Episcopal Parish Hall in Davenport on Sunday, October 27th 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.
