Friends of Chamber Music (FCM) Student Volunteer Information
2024-2025 Concert Season
We are delighted that you want to work with us to put on these special concerts by world-class musicians! Your tasks at the concerts are quite simple but extremely important, as they are enhancing the professional quality of these musical programs for the community. They also give you an up-close-and-personal look at what goes into presenting something as enjoyable as a 21st-century concert of classical music.
Let’s Work Together!
