A Statement from the Board of Directors

 

Chamber Music America writes in sorrow and in solidarity with the Black community in our own field and beyond, as all of us endure the brutal murder of George Floyd, the latest in a seemingly unending number of hate-inspired killings of Black men and women.

COVID-19 Resources for the Chamber Music Community

 

On March 11, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. Since then, dramatic measures have been taken, which involve widespread performance cancellations, venue and office closings, and strict social distancing guidelines.


CMA has created a resource page to aid arts professionals at this challenging time.


CMA has also published the results of its survey on the impact of COVID-19 on the chamber music field. The results include responses from individuals and organizations and will be shared with legislators, funders, and others who may help our field access relief funds.


Check back regularly as we learn of and post additional resources.

Pay-What-You-Can Memberships Are Here!


CMA is currently offering Pay-What-You-Can memberships in recognition that many are currently or will be financially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. While in effect, we do encourage all members who are able to pay their full membership rates to continue to do so. Additionally, we greatly appreciate those able to contribute a little extra in order to subsidize another member’s dues and support the entire community.


This policy will be in effect until March 31, 2021, at which time we will again review the economic situation.
