ABOUT COMMUNITY MUSIC CENTER (CMC) In partnership with a nonprofit partner, CMC has been a popular place for music lessons and concerts in Portland since 1955. We enhance the greater Portland community by providing opportunities for all ages to learn about, make, and enjoy music. We do this through affordable music classes and lessons, free and low-cost concerts and workshops, low-cost instrument rentals, and other resources for the public.
We follow state and local Covid-prevention mandates and guidelines for in-person activities.
