The Center for Advanced Musical Studies is a place for talented musicians who share the mutual goals of exploring their personal voice and expanding their artistic capacities.
Rapid changes are sweeping the musical landscape; New and emerging musics, free as well as traditional improvisation, non-conventional ensembles, and new technologies/media are joining our concert stages at a dizzying rate. Many of our greatest artists are searching for new ways to re-interpret and present the acknowledged masterpieces of western music as well as experiencing new-found stimulation by collaborating with composers, composing themselves, and playing the music of their friends.
Most that are currently studying music are familiar with the large-scale cultural shifts, migration, and evolution of the musical marketplace taking place over the last decade, but simply don’t know what to do about them nor how to respond. They are ready to jump into something bound with hope.
