With support from the California Arts Council, the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble will directly fund musician and staff salaries, our highest priority. Over 65% of our projected 2020-21 budget is for payroll, which reflects our values as an organization.
The core programs of the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble include:
Annual subscription concert series on both sides of the Bay;
Music From the Inside Out, a composition-based education program for middle and high school students at the SF Community Music Center;
Pathways, a program providing professional, mentor-guided workshops, performances & recordings for young adult composers with limited access;
Left Coast Composition Contest, now in its 21st year, drawing composer applicants from all over the world;
Numerous free community events each year.
