The oldest independent chamber music series in the country, the Coleman Chamber Concerts were founded in 1904 by Alice Coleman, a gifted musician with a remarkable vision for the future of chamber music. A friend said to her, “What! Chamber concerts in Pasadena? It can never be done!”

More than a century later, it’s clear that Alice’s vision was clear.

Concerts are presented on Sunday afternoons at 3:30 p.m. in Beckman Auditorium, on the Caltech campus in Pasadena, California.
