Education Outreach
Our Educational Mission
The mission of FLCMF to bring quality live music for the appreciation and participation of our communities is nowhere more evident than in our youth outreach. We totally fund these concerts through donations from our patrons. And students are always admitted to season concerts free!
Schools where FLCMF concerts have taken place include Dundee CSD, Hammondsport CSD, Penn Yan, and Gorham School for Grades 3-5, (part of the Marcus Whitman SCD). This year there is a new school, Bath CSD. There will be 5 School Concerts this year.
How do children react to chamber music concerts? Would you believe they clap along? They make requests. They have an opportunity to touch an instrument. They run into Richard on the street and ask, "Do you remember me?" The best review ever: "That was like a piece of heaven. It was like I could SEE the music." (This from a blind young man.)
