At CMC, students find themselves, their friends, and their purpose:
We believe in the power of chamber music to connect people from all backgrounds. Through our free public and outreach concerts, our educational programs, and our commitment to high quality music making, we foster a community of diverse talents and collective well-being.

EXPERIENCE a CMC performance
As an audience member of our free public or outreach concerts you will experience chamber music up close in intimate settings — the way chamber music is supposed to be heard! The size of chamber music groups enables both the listeners and the performers to connect through exchange of energy and feedback.
We invite everyone to take part in the personal and collective journey that awaits at CMC.
