The mission of the SIUE Performing Arts Initiative is to provide low-cost, high-quality, cultural and educational programs directed at a wide cross-section of the community, bring performances to the area that residents would otherwise have little opportunity to attend, and provide a variety of points of view and diverse artistic experiences.

Hailed by the St. Louis Post Dispatch as "One of St. Louis' most important classical organizations" Chamber Project Saint Louis is a collaborative chamber music ensemble celebrating the dynamic interactions between all members of the music-making process: from composers, to performers, to audience members.
