Our ensembles bring faculty coaches and participant musicians together as colleagues working and playing alongside one another in an integrated coaching model. This grassroots approach to music-making inspires heightened communication and collaboration while forging enduring professional connections and friendships.

Creating a sense of community is at the core of who we are. Our highest priority is to provide top-notch training in an environment that supports personal and musical growth, and to foster connections between musicians that will last a lifetime.

We value the importance of performance experience. MCMS participants have a number of performance opportunities including community outreach, masterclasses, and public concerts.
