The Mission To improve the quality of community life by nurturing and expanding the knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of chamber music through education and performance by encouraging student development through superior teaching environments and outstanding teachers by providing learning opportunities to community youth through outreach programs by presenting public performances of the highest quality, and by collaborating with local cultural and educational institutions. A solid foundation for life depends on many building blocks. One of the most durable is the gift of music.
Music touches the heart.
Introduced to a child at an early age, it also can improve learning ability while increasing self-esteem and creativity. ACMC brings this gift of music to all of Austin, including its children, through the joy of chamber music. These gifts were possible because of generous membership support. 120 events in 1999-2000 provided beautiful music to both adults and children, making community connections throughout Austin. All told, more than 3600 eager children from all over Austin benefited from these events.
