CMW receives award from Chamber Music America

At Friday's free community dinner and concert at the John Hope Settlement House, Margaret Lioi, CEO of Chamber Music America, will be on hand to present CMW with the 2009 CMAcclaim Award. This honor recognizes organizations whose achievements in the field of chamber music have had a "significant and lasting impact on their community."

Chamber Music America has been a generous supporter of CMW over the past three seasons, providing funding for an annual series of free community concerts (including Friday's event), school visits, and educational activities with our students. CMA's three-year grant has allowed the Providence String Quartet to engage in multi-part residencies at several neighborhood schools, including Community Preparatory School, San Miguel School, Gilbert Stuart Middle School, and the Vartan Gregorian Elementary School.

Here are links to previous posts about the PSQ's multi-part school residencies.
