MusicWorks Collective

MusicWorks Collective (MWC), the ensemble in residence of Community MusicWorks, is the manifestation of the organization’s commitment to transformative experiences through musical performance. MWC programs music that represents individual and collective passions — ranging from Bach to the most recently-composed music of today to musical collaborations that honor the traditions of Community MusicWorks families. The MusicWorks Collective makes programming choices conscious of representing voices from everyone in our community, especially the historically marginalized voices of women composers and composers of color– with the belief that musical experiences are richest when everyone is heard.

MWC performs in venues ranging from concert halls to corner taquerias, and seeks to animate performances with a sense of community-building and celebration of the human spirit.Further afield, they have performed in Boston, New York City, and at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
