Forest Hills Chamber
Music Series

The Forest Hills Chamber Music Series was founded in 2019 by cellist Ari Evan and Cantor Emily Wigod Pincus of The Reform Temple of Forest Hills, which has been the generous home of this series. FHCMS aims to highlight Jewish composers of the past 150 years by pairing their works with 18th and 19th century masterworks of the same instrumentation. This series also hopes to reach audiences in the Forest Hills community that may not readily have access to live, top-quality chamber music.

FCHMS has championed many works by living composers, including Osvaldo Golijov, Gilad Hochman, Paul Wiancko, and world-premiered a piano trio by Aaron J Kernis in 2024. Exciting developments for the '26-27 season include, for the first time, collaborations with other venues/organizations--the Blanc and Bulgarian Concert Evenings of New York--as well as the performance of a new work by David Ludwig for Soprano and Piano Trio.
