With support from the California Arts Council, Chamber Music Unbound will implement “Roll Over Beethoven” in the underserved school communities of the Eastern Sierra. The project facilitates in-person interactions between students of all ages and teaching artists, who guide students in forging a meaningful relationship with instrumental music as a “language-without-words”.
Core Chamber Music Unbound programs are:
1) Kids Concerts – interactive performances by professional musicians for students of all grade levels.
2) Community Music School: year-round after-school instrumental programs at 5 sites, enrolling young pianists, violinists and cellists grades K-12. Over 40% of students receive instrument and/or tuition scholarships.
3) Adult education in partnership with Cerro Coso Community College: classes offered include Eastern Sierra Chamber Orchestra, Sierra Chamber Music Workshop, History of Jazz, History of Popular Music and Music Appreciation.
4) A professional winter concert series of 10 performances with the resident Felici Piano Trio and renowned guest artists.
5) The Unbound Chamber Music Festival with 6 summer concerts
