Educational Outreach Programs

Every season, we engage our stellar guest artists to provide educational outreach programs at College Station and Bryan schools, Blinn College, and Texas A&M University. Students of all ages, from kindergarten through undergraduate college courses, have the opportunity to experience informal music presentations, workshops, and Q&A sessions with the world-renowned musicians.

Surprising Discoveries

Our enthusiastic guest musicians use creative and fun ways to engage the youngest audiences with live chamber music.

Educational outreach is a core component of the Friends of Chamber Music’s mission, and we believe in creating inspiring connections between our amazing guest musicians and students in Bryan-College Station. We partner with the music instructors across the CSISD, BISD, Blinn College, and Texas A&M University educational community to ensure the effectiveness of our outreach programs.

We offer these programs free of charge, thanks to the generous support by the Friends of Chamber Music’s patrons.

Reach to us if you are interested in engaging your students with the world of music through our outreach events, or if you have questions about our educational programs.
