Founded in 2015 by pianist Efi Hackmey and cellist Carrie Bean Stute, Chiarina brings distinctive chamber music performances and innovative programming to an intimate neighborhood setting in Capitol Hill, DC. With a roster of world-class artists, their mission is to create an engaging, inclusive listening experience that connects audience members, performers, and music by a wide spectrum of composers from the eighteenth through the twenty-first centuries. 

Recognized in the Washington Post for putting on “some of the most compelling chamber music programs in town” and selected as one of Washington Classical Review’s Top Ten Performances of 2021, Chiarina is the recipient of grants from Chamber Music America, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and the Capitol Hill Community Foundation, including that organization’s inaugural Franzén Award for the Arts.
