Education

Outreach

Outreach is an important part of NEPACMS’ mission to fostering the growth and awareness of chamber music in the Northeastern Pennsylvania region. In addition to playing concerts in the main concert series, artists also visit schools or collaborate with other organizations and institutions to present free concerts and interact with students to educate and inspire future musicians and music-lovers.
