Plowman Chamber Music Competition is a biennial event, co-presented by the Odyssey Chamber Music Series, the First Baptist Church, the University of Missouri (MU) School of Music and the Missouri Symphony.
It is rare for a small college town as Columbia in Missouri to be visited by so many renowned classical musicians on a single weekend event. Thanks to the generous support of our donors and Columbian community, Plowman Chamber Music Competition draws about 70 performers in one weekend. These world-class musicians include the three Plowman judges, guest Odyssey performers, and 15 nationally selected prestigious chamber ensembles.
