Earlier this month, we were elated to receive word from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation that CMW will receive $257,750 over three years to continue work on the projects that we have been successfully developing since 2009 with support from the Mellon Foundation.

This grant will help CMW continue to engage in "strategic collaborations that will extend the impact of our educational model in the fields of classical music, arts education, and social justice." Goals include:

1. expanding CMW’s capacity to share its model with musicians and teaching artists nationwide;

2. supporting the proliferation of CMW-inspired programs; and

3. placing CMW at the center of a national and international dialogue about the role of arts education, the role of the musician in contemporary society, and the intersection of music and social justice.
