Chamber music. Is this an outdated term that turns people off from engaging with the art form?

From a 2007 article in The New York Times by Anne Midgette:

Margaret M. Lioi, the chief executive officer of the service
organization Chamber Music America, says that its definition of chamber
music is “music for small ensembles in which each player has a part,
generally without a conductor.”

“I think that Small Ensemble
America is a really bad name,” Ms. Lioi said. “We have to remain
Chamber Music America because we can’t find a better name. It’s what
we’ve got.”

Anyone want to help out by providing some suggestions for Margaret? Send me an email via the CMW website's Contact Us page.
