ABOUT MOCM

The Missouri Chamber Music Festival has been generously sponsored by the Fox

Performing Arts Charitable Foundation, the Arts and Education Council, the Regional

Arts Commission, The Whitaker Foundation, Chamber Music America, ACMP, the Adult

The Missouri Chamber Music Festival (MOCM) was formed in June 2010 by Scott

Andrews, principal clarinetist of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and pianist Nina

Ferrigno, to educate, cultivate, promote, foster, sponsor, develop, and encourage

understanding of and public interest in classical chamber music. MOCM brings

nationally recognized professional musicians to St. Louis, MO to perform a series of

chamber music concerts in collaboration with local artists during an annual Festival

each June. Diverse programming including new and commissioned works are a defining

attribute of the Festival illuminating the fine art of the small ensemble genre.
