With almost two dozen concerts a year — in large venues like Mechanics Hall, and in smaller venues like cafes and care facilities — an extensive community strings program, and a free Music on Main concert for more than a thousand music lovers, the Worcester Chamber Music Society typically maintains a hectic calendar.
But 2020 caused a shift in activities.
After canceling all its spring programs, WCMS created an @Home series of free concerts that was sent out to followers during the summer. Eventually, for the fall, a series of six live-stream concerts was produced. But the shift from in-person to online took time.
