Be A Part of The Arts at Community Music School
Whether as a music-maker or an appreciative audience
member, Community Music School invites you to be a
part of the arts! Located in the Spencer’s Corner complex
on Main Street in Centerbrook, CMS provides early
childhood music, private music lessons, group beginner
classes, performance opportunities, music therapy, arts
camps, and much more for nearly 500 students each year.
Special programs for students of all ages who are
interested in performing include the String Ensemble,
Jazz Ensemble, Clarinet Ensemble, and New Horizons
Band. The New Horizons Band is perfect for adults who
are just learning or becoming reacquainted with a band
instrument. Part of a national organization, the CMS
band was launched five years ago and is directed by CMS
founder Patricia Hurley. They meet on Monday and
Thursday mornings and always welcome those interested
to observe a rehearsal.
Several FREE programs and concerts coming up include
an annual Faculty Concert & Reception on November 8th
at the Centerbrook Meetinghouse; and annual Holiday Concert
on December 13th at Valley Regional High School. The New
Horizons Band will also be performing with the John Winthrop
Middle School band at their winter concert on December 10th.
As a non-profit organization, CMS also hosts creative fund raisers
to support scholarships and outreach. The next event is a spring
gala featuring swing era music and student performances on April
16th. For information about these
and other activities at CMS, please call 860-767-0026 or visit www.
