Commitment to Cleveland

We believe in growing dedicated and conscientious leaders of the world—which is why curating meaningful community outreach events is at the heart of ENCORE Chamber Music’s teaching philosophy. Our young artists receive intensive instructions on how to create an impactful music outreach event. We require them to come up with a script for each occasion incorporating cool facts, silly jokes, and/or stories. These talented young artists always surprise us by coming up with creative ways to engage audience who may have never heard an instrument up close! This hands-on approach invented by ENCORE’s very own Cavani String Quartet is truly unique, and known as “The Cleveland-Style Outreach” in the music world. In the process, our students and faculty develop lifelong bonds, making them lasting goodwill ambassadors for Cleveland.
