Dear CMS Friends,
Now that the Community Music School is well underway with its fall semester, we write to THANK YOU for your support, especially during these past 7 months! With your help we’ve sustained our beloved school through a challenging summer, and in September, re-opened our doors for in-person learning (in addition to our new virtual offerings). And our wonderful String Ensemble and New Horizons Band have been safely rehearsing at the Centerbrook Meetinghouse (with thanks to The Clark Group and Centerbrook Properties LLC). Thanks to you —our dedicated students, faculty, staff, board, supporters, and community members— we’re humming along, and will keep music learning and engagement an integral part of our community.
Special and deepest thanks to our generous 2020-2021 school-year sponsors and donors (listed below), including those who gave to our Summer “Friends of Note” campaign (devoted to “COVID-19 Relief” for CMS).
