UPCOMING HIGHLIGHTS

EDUCATION INITIATIVES

Our Goal is $7500 to support the Family Concert Series. 

Now in its second year, the Family Concert Series is expanding to include another museum!  This year concerts will be held at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, the Kimbell Art Museum,  the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.  

With your support,  families can attend these entertaining and educational concerts at a reduced rate. This year's experiences:

•  "Spells, Strings, and Spooky Things" featuring The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Harry Potter, & viral cello music from Wednesday.  Modern Art Museum, October 25
• "Jingle Bell Jam" with holiday hits like "Sleigh Ride" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" plus a sing-along.  Amon Carter Museum of American Art, December 20
• "Soundwaves & Symphonies" in the Omni Theater explore how music is created.  Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, March 8
• "Peter & the Wolf" also featuring Funeral March of a Marionette featuring a special guest narrator as well as student art helping to capture the stories.  Kimbell Art Museum, April 4

Learning with the Masters, our flagship program, provides young musicians with the opportunity to learn directly from our guest artists who provide insights and inspiration that help shape their musical journeys. Collaborations with the Fort Worth Youth Orchestra and local universities. 

CMSFW2 identifies talented collegiate-age musicians who are on track for professional careers by giving them the opportunity to perform in a highly sought-after venue. The Julliard-based Prometheus Quartet gave exhilarating performances this past year to our patrons through outreach to the Stayton plus a master class for the Fort Worth Youth Orchestra and a performance at the Neville Gallery.

The Building Blocks of Music introduces chamber music to our youngest audiences.  Last year we presented this program to students in the Fort Worth ISD, the YMCA, Cook Children's Hospital, and Glen Rose ISD. 

OUTREACH INITIATIVES

We continue to find new ways to reach local audiences with performances at museums, galleries, and retirement communities.  Our YouTube platform offers over 200 FREE performance and educational videos with over 105,000 views. And, recognizing the therapeutic benefits of music, we have brought healing music to patients, families, and staff at Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center. 

CMSFW continues to grow and strive to achieve new heights presenting the best, most diverse roster and programming in the country. Come to our concerts and you will see our music making and presentation are second to none.
