Securing sponsorship has been a tougher sell than just putting together superior concerts and filling the 380-seat church with warm bodies, Gluzman says. "We were nearly sold-out from the get-go four years ago," reports the artistic director, a Ukraine-born, Israel-trained virtuoso who studied with the legendary pedagogue Dorothy DeLay at the Juilliard School of Music after immigrating to the U.S.. "Our audience comes back year after year, and more and more people are following what we are doing. They like the idea that we don't put up walls between them and the artists. "As for the friends and colleagues who perform with us, many of them will call and ask if we have room for them on the roster for an upcoming festival. I am heartbroken when I have to say no, but I assure them I will be only too happy to invite them back the following year." This year's chamber repertory typically ranges widely – from trios by Mozart and Beethoven, METROMIX and seldom-heard quintets by Max Bruch and Erich Wolfgang Korngold, to a late-night tribute to jazz great Oscar Peterson by pianist Litton.

The church donates its space and ushers, while PianoForte Chicago provides a Fazioli piano. WFMT 98.7 FM broadcasts the concerts. Looking to the future, Gluzman and Yoffe toy with the idea of repeating selected programs on a run-out basis at a venue or venues closer to downtown Chicago. But that would require a larger budget and an actual staff, and Yoffe says she feels stretched far enough, at the moment, between her duties as pianist, administrator and fundraiser. "I feel so wrong going to people and asking for money," she says. "We would love to have a couple of companies and foundations step forward to help us. We have to remind people that putting on a festival of this caliber is not a one-way street." Following is the 2014 festival schedule: 6 p.m. Wednesday.
