What we do

Noe Music combines world-class live performances with behind-the-scenes artist access and interactive education to build musical knowledge, shared community, and an intimate connection with the art of chamber music.

With a deep appreciation for both traditions of the past and today’s most innovative voices, we present a diverse range of artists and programs, expanding both the audiences we serve and chamber music as we know it.

History
Noe Music (formerly known as Noe Valley Chamber Music) was founded as a grassroots neighborhood series in 1992 by Karen Heather, who served as Artistic Director for 25 years.  At the beginning of the 2018/19 season Noe Music transitioned the leadership to a team of new co-Artistic Directors, Meena Bhasin and Owen Dalby, who share an ambitious vision for the crucial role Noe Music must play in ensuring arts and culture thrive in San Francisco and the region at large.

More than merely a chamber music presenter, Noe Music is a cultural hub for the Bay Area bolstering artistic talent and building musical knowledge for an ever-growing community of culturally curious citizens.
