The Lavazza Chamber Ensemble brings the joy of music to as many people as possible through the intimacy of chamber music performances. Founded in 1990 by cellist Jan Pfeiffer, the LCE performs repertoire from the classical era to the contemporary with great depth and enthusiasm. Acclaimed for their passion and polish, the performers are all artists residing in the Boston area committed to spreading their love of music to the communities in which they live.

They were awarded $2,000 in order to offset some of the costs of promoting their free concerts, in the hope that this will help them to broaden their attendance.
