Chamber Music Connection Programs
The Chamber Music Connection operates year-round, sponsoring four major programs for school-age students. Offered jointly with each of these programs are the Jazz Institute, and the Adult Chamber Music Program.
In addition to these programs, The Chamber Music Connection enjoys a wonderful association with Chamber Music Columbus, which has been presenting some of the world's most prestigious touring chamber music artists to Columbus audiences for over 50 years. We are very grateful for our association with this leading arts organization.

The Adult Chamber Music Program is
a non-audition program that organizes opportunities for adult musicians
from various backgrounds to play chamber music. It is ideal for adult
amateur musicians who are seeking playing opportunities, or for music
teachers who wish to reconnect with their own musical education and
rejuvenate their teaching. Adult students are welcome to register for
any CMC program.

The Jazz Institute opens
the musician’s “toolbox” through an understanding
of intervals, scales, and harmony. Knowing “how music works”
leads to a deeper interpretation of written music, and opens the door to
creating your own music. Learn step-by-step musical tools and practical
tips to improvising immediately, applicable to any musical style.

CMC student ensembles perform pre-concert
entertainment, welcoming arriving audiences to Chamber Music
Columbus-hosted performances at the Southern Theatre. Chamber
Music Columbus generously provides free tickets to these students,
allowing them to hear outstanding world class artists in live
performance. The collaboration further includes bringing CMC student
ensembles and touring artists together in master classes, workshops,
and performances.
