Outreach

Outreach is an important part of NEPACMS’s mission to foster the growth and awareness of chamber music throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. In addition to our main concert series, NEPACMS musicians connect with the community through school visits, free performances, educational programs, and collaborations with local organizations and institutions.

Our Young Audiences Initiative brings chamber music into area schools through performances, Q&A sessions, clinics, and provides opportunities for students to attend NEPACMS concerts for free. The NEPACMS Ensemble Exchange brings musicians together to explore, collaborate, and build community through chamber music. Through these efforts, we seek to make chamber music more accessible, inspire future musicians and music-lovers, and strengthen the region’s musical community.
