THE COMMUNITY MUSIC SCHOOL FLOURISHES IN ITS 40TH YEAR!

A 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization based at Spencer’s Corner in Centerbrook, Community Music School (CMS) provides essential musical education and experiences for residents of all ages and celebrates its 40th Anniversary throughout 2023! A full roster of ensembles rehearse and present regular public performances, including the CMS String Orchestra performing Wed May 17 at 7 pm at Valley HS auditorium. Students of all ages perform in end-of-semester recitals in June. Summer programs include private lessons on most instruments/voice, Music Together® early childhood music classes, and popular Music Theatre Programs: Broadway Bound (“Matilda,” July 17-28, ages 10-17) and Broadway Beginners (“The Lion King Kids,” July 10-21, ages 5-9)

On Oct 14 CMS celebrates its 40th Anniversary with a fundraiser concert “Todd Ellison and Friends” at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center. Todd is an acclaimed Broadway music director/pianist (and Essex native) and will be joined by a starstudded roster of friends as they celebrate the music of Broadway!
