The Cleveland Philharmonic Chamber Ensemble is a select group of 20 musicians from the parent Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra, a full symphony orchestra founded in 1938. Dr. F. Karl Grossman of Western Reserve University was the Orchestra’s first conductor; the current Music Director, Victor H. Liva, began in 2007, as the orchestra celebrated its 70th concert season.

The Philharmonic has presented outstanding Cleveland area musicians, as well as artists of international stature, in its roster of soloists. Annually, since 1973, the Philharmonic has sponsored the Frieda Schumacher Young Artist Competition, a statewide competition open to high school age musicians who audition for a cash award and the opportunity of performing a full length concerto with the Orchestra.
