We are pleased to present the results of Chamber Music America’s third survey regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the small ensemble music field. Previous survey results were published in April and June 2020, long before vaccines were available and venues were considering reopening. And while the end appears to be in sight, our field still has some distance to cover to return to the pre-pandemic level of music activity.

The survey was distributed to 8,500 email addresses, closed May 14, and received a 4.4% response rate.
