Membership Directory
Published each fall as a supplement to the September/October issue of Chamber Music magazine, the annual directory is a 300-page compendium and resource book for the U.S. ensemble music community. It lists all of CMA's member ensembles, professional musicians, presenters, festivals, training programs, businesses and educators. Organizations and Professional Musician/Educators can use the expanded listing option to provide short bios and a publicity photo.
Directory of Festivals, Schools, and Workshops
An advance guide to the spring and summer chamber music season, this directory is published each spring as a supplement to the March/April issue of Chamber Music magazine. Ensemble, presenter, festival, and training institution members can list their special programs in this directory at no additional charge.
E-newsletter
Every week, members receive Accent, an e-newsletter which features member news, upcoming CMA events, listings of opportunities in the chamber music field, and other industry-related topics.
Listserv: CMA Member News Flash
The CMA Member News Flash is a listserv--a way of quickly communicating with other colleagues in the chamber music field via email. Musicians and ensembles may post announcements about jobs, concerts, masterclasses, workshops, conferences, seminars, new CDs, and articles about chamber music. Organization-level presenter members are invited to post concert and other press release information. Business-level members may use the news flash to publicize their own businesses. Artist managers may publicize the activities of their CMA member ensembles.
NOTE: CMA News Flash is a moderated listserv. That means that your message is not sent immediately, but placed in a pending file for approval. A CMA moderator confirms that the messages are current and relate to the chamber music field. The message goes out within 1-2 business days.
