“Melos Chamber Ensemble combines a strong foundation rooted in the classics with modern additions to convey a story in every concert and evoke emotion in a singing cantabile style.”

A Los Angeles based ensemble, Melos Music is dedicated to bringing the highest quality of chamber music concerts to the local community/engaging audiences, particularly our youth in classical concerts/providing affordable tickets to underserved communities and access to experience live classical music/creating programs to meet the needs of the diverse communities of Los Angeles. 

Melos' philosophy in outreach is proactive and strives to serve the community from within, bringing interactive concerts and education to local schools in underserved areas of the city. Proceeds from our annual benefit concert support the Good Shepherd Shelter L.A, the first domestic violence shelter in LA. Melos also works to bring Family Music to women and children of the shelter as a way of healing. Matinee concerts are intended to serve members of the community who do not have the means or opportunity to attend live evening performances.

Melos, according to the ancient Greeks, is the melodic basis of music: the fusion of word, rhythm, and melody.  

Indeed, melos is synonymous with music as a performing art; any melody or lyric poem intended for singing.
