The Florence Center for Contemporary Music, Inc. (FCCM) exists to foster the creation, performance, and publication of contemporary American music through private instruction, group ensemble experiences, audio and video production, and a start-up workspace for entrepreneurs entering the music and media production fields. FCCM offers instruction to individuals of all ages in woodwind, brass, percussion and strings (orchestral group), and guitar, bass, piano, keyboard, drum set and vocal (combo group). Students who desire to learn the performance demands of an organized band (rock band, jazz band, etc.) will have the opportunity to rehearse with such a group, manage, book and promote the group and to perform in public. FCCM provides an in-house performance venue. This fully equipped sound stage is complete with lighting, sound reinforcement, instruments, and recording capabilities for all students to utilize. FCCM’s Concert Series and semi-annual recitals featuring FCCM students, faculty, and guest artist will be held in this venue and open to public attendance. FCCM hosts seminars and workshops with working professionals involved in the various aspects of performance, song writing, concert promotion/management, and recording/ sound reinforcement.
