MSMUS C596-7 — Chamber Music Community Service Seminar

The Chamber Music Community Engagement Seminar is open to up to four chamber groups committed to a yearlong exploration into harnessing the power of music as an agent for change in our local community. The class meets weekly over the course of the academic year, during which the groups will work with the faculty and invited guests to develop and refine a project of their own choosing. Possible projects include an educational collaboration with a local children’s hospital; a performance series for a rehabilitation center, refugee organization, or homeless shelter located in an underserved community; or a benefit concert for a local environmental agency or other charity of choice, among others. Through these projects, students will use their creative talent and entrepreneurial skills to engage with the local community to achieve social change. Selected by application and interview.
