School Concerts

Aeolus Quartet at Fulmore Middle In the Austin Chamber Music Center’s school concerts program, ACMC is able both to educate and perform by presenting interactive performances of chamber music to Austin’s students. Our concerts take place in the schools, and each of our professional ensembles offers a unique presentation in what it means to play and listen to chamber music.

Benefits of School Concerts

  • elements of playing in small groups

  • Two to three periods, back-to-back, on the same day, during which an ensemble can give performances
  • A small, quiet space – preferably a classroom, library or music room

Cost

Costs to AISD schools: ACMC is able to perform at AISD schools free of charge because of the generous support of certain individuals, foundations, and corporations. We will gladly accept contributions from your PTA and school to cover concert costs so that our limited funding can reach as many children as possible.

Available funds to support free concerts are limited, please contact us early in the school year to schedule a concert for your students.
