Our mission is to support the professional and artistic growth of San Francisco Bay Area musicians whose focus is the small ensemble. Through programs that include fiscal sponsorship, free annual music festivals, grants for artists, career development, and curated performance partnerships, we lower barriers to artistic participation and stimulate civic engagement.

We envision a thriving musical climate for San Francisco Bay Area musicians with sustainable careers who are celebrated by engaged and dedicated audiences. We value ensemble music-making for its intimacy and immediacy, and champion its many genres by serving those who create and share it.
