Why Perform With Us?
A Cool Theater
You’ve probably never performed in a place quite like the Rialto. They’ve been doing live music for over 30 years, and it’s nothing like you’ve ever experienced at a school concert.
Pop Music
All of our groups play pop music, songs that classical musicians don’t normally get to play. From ABBA to Coldplay to funk, we welcome everything except classical music.
Good People
Chamber Pops is student run and student led. All our performers are local high school students, and you’ll be playing alongside the Triangle’s best.

Who We Are
Chamber Pops is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to putting on an amazing music festival for middle and high school students. We want to bring together music students from all over the triangle to experience the wonder of chamber music.
Our concert is held annually at The Rialto Theatre, a local historic theater on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh that has been hosting live music since the 1930s. Performing in this venue is a once in a lifetime experience for many of our performers, and we’re so grateful for our partnership with the Rialto that enables us to offer that.
We also partner with the Raleigh Music Collective to support music education in the triangle. Our portion of the proceeds from the concert every year is donated directly to them, supporting their work of giving all students access to music and enabling a musical journey for everyone.
