At Chamber Music Northwest, it’s not “outreach” – it’s engagement. Our education programs put young performers in direct contact with some of the world’s finest musicians—and lets them take center stage to showcase their own musical voices. From our acclaimed Young Artists Institute and Protégé Project participants (like the Akropolis Reed Quintet , the Dover Quartet, and composers Gabriella Smith and Andy Akiho) and our beloved Prelude Performances that spotlight our region’s best young artists, to the countless masterclasses, school concerts, sectionals, and coachings by world-renowned artists (like Sandbox Percussion, Kenari Quartet, WindSync, and Roderick Williams - Baritone)—Chamber Music Northwest’s Education and Community Engagement programming has served nearly 100,000 students and attendees since 2000 alone!! Want to see these amazing programs continue? Join the party! Catalyst Quartet is coming to Portland to perform a special benefit concert – and you’re invited!
