Emerald City Music

Emerald City Music (ECM) is a Seattle-based classical chamber music series, described by CityArts as "the beacon for the casual-classical movement," presenting eclectic, intimate concerts at its South Lake Union home venue, 415 Westlake. ECM is known for innovative programming led by Artistic Director and Co-Founder Kristin Lee, a touring violinist and member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, with productions ranging from a national commission with Grammy-winning composer John Luther Adams to the West Coast debut of Danish folk group Dreamers' Circus. Founded in 2015, ECM produces and tours seven productions annually across Seattle, Olympia, Bellingham, and New York City, and is now in its 10th anniversary season. ECM presents concerts in Seattle's South Lake Union (415 Westlake), Olympia's Minnaert Center, Bellingham, and New York City. Attendees describe ECM's concerts as relaxed and enriching, praising the caliber of performers and the intimate salon atmosphere of the venue.
