CMW is an equal opportunity employer, and is committed to building a culturally diverse faculty that reflects the neighborhoods in which we are situated. Women, LGBTQ, and people of color are strongly encouraged to apply.

Join us for an evocative program inspired by nature, pattern, and resonance. The MusicWorks Collective performs Gabriella Smith’s vibrant Carrot Revolution alongside the intricate, unfolding textures of Inti Figgis-Vizueta’s Branching Patterns. The performance culminates in the timeless beauty of Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, in which CMW students and alumni will join the MusicWorks Collective in a rich, luminous collaboration.
