EMS is funded by the Scottish Arts Council to support the network of music clubs, music societies, arts guilds and other organisations which are run by volunteers throughout Scotland. This network of voluntary music promoters is the most important outlet in Scotland for live concerts of classical and contemporary chamber music.

Throughout the 2007/08 concert season EMS promoted over 400 concerts by outstanding musicians, enjoyed by a total audience of around 40,000.  EMS achieves this by:

• giving financial support to promoters through grants and guarantees against loss
• publishing the Scottish Tours Book, which lists details of performers planning Scottish tours
  
• holding the annual Tours Conference each November to help performers and promoters coordinate tours
• running an educational programme of music workshops for schools.
• EMS has also established a Residency Programme for outstanding developing chamber music groups
