Residencies
CMA's Residency Partnership Program encourages collaborative residencies that bring live ensemble music and audience-engagement activities to rural, urban, and suburban audiences.

Commissioning
Member ensembles and presenters may seek support for new contemporary/classical chamber works through the Classical Commissioning Program and, for compositions in the jazz idiom, through New Jazz Works: Commissioning and Ensemble Development. Commissioned composers need not be members of Chamber Music America, but we invite you to review a list of CMA's composer members.

Presentation and Collaborations
Support for artist collaborations is available through CMA/FACE French American Jazz Exchange and for concert presentation through Presenting Jazz.

AWARDS
CMA recognizes extraordinary achievement in the chamber music field though the Richard J. Bogomolny National Service Award, the Cleveland Quartet Award, the CMA/ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming, and CMAcclaim.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Offerings include a wide variety of seminars in New York City and at other venues around the nation, as well as private consultations with CMA staff.

Seminars and Workshops
First Tuesdays is CMA's monthly, free career seminar series for New York City-area ensemble musicians and other professionals. Regional seminars are also held at booking conferences each fall.

National Conference
Held in New York City each January, the National Conference offers numerous sessions and workshops to strengthen business-related skills and to explore best practices in the profession.

Institutes
Specialized Educational and Residency Institutes are announced at intervals throughout the year.

Private Consultations
CMA program staff members are available for phone consultations and in-office meetings by appointment.
