Crowden Center for Music in the Community Chamber Music for Adults

The Chamber Music Program for Adults is designed for adult musicians who would like to play in a small group with others of comparable experience and ability. The session culminates in an informal recital. Intermediate- to advanced-level instrumentalists are encouraged to participate. Compatible participants are placed in chamber groups of three to five players according to instrumentation, playing level, musical interests, and schedule availability. Pre-formed groups are welcome. Prospective participants should contact the CCMC office to schedule a brief placement interview.
