NCCMI AT A GLANCE 2018-2019
Our Mission is to provide mentorship and chamber music education primarily to young people aged 7-19 through the formation of small ensembles who present outstanding performances of chamber music masterworks, with the purpose of developing the audiences and artists of the future.
80 Students in 2018-19 NCCMI program Over 40 performances in the Community 10 master classes/workshops
20 small ensembles (13 string quartets, 6 piano/strings and 1 woodwind quintet)
28 teachers (including NCS members, college professors and other outstanding community teachers)
Students with 2- 3 years of musical experience can sign up online to audition for NCCMI. They are matched in groups, based on their level and schedule availability. Groups select their events out of multiple NCCMI choices. They rehearse at partnering churches or students’ homes. Financial Aid and payment plans are available.
NCCMI spreads the joy of chamber music to over 40 locations each year! These events take place in retirement communities, churches, Wake County Public Libraries and other locations throughout Wake County and the Triangle area. Most locations are accessible with ramped entrances. Nearly all concerts are open to the public and free of charge.
Each year, ALL NCCMI students receive 16 sessions with teachers (ratio of 4 to 1). Every group performs in multiple community events, growing in confidence and artistry. Many students earn awards for exceptional community service hours. Students study music by composers from all style periods. One local composer is commissioned to compose a piece for an outstanding student ensemble. Students return in subsequent years for ever-increasing challenges and the reward of re-creating art with other like-minded young musicians.
