ABOUT

The Story of Carmel Music Society

Celebrating our 98th Season

The CMS story begins in the early 1920s, when Dene Denny and Hazel Watrous moved to Carmel and established themselves as architects and decorators. To enhance the cultural life of the Monterey Peninsula, they created a concert series that has extended to almost a century of musical excellence.
