It's a very good organization, but I wouldn't want non-Americans to think it
is not for them. Though it was founded in the USA, the A has never stood for
American, but originally for Amateur and now for Association. It has an
index of players in many countries. The fee is small and even voluntary.

Hi Deborah,
Have you tried the American Chamber Music Network?
http://www.acmp.net/index.php
I've just moved back to the US after 33 years in Europe, so had almost no
contacts at all, and this has helped me to find players in the area. There
is a fee, but for me, it's been worth it.
Good luck!Deborah (we have a popular name . . . ) Marshall
