Valuing All Voices Campaign

A new century of music education at Community Music Center of Boston

For over a century, CMCB has been a cornerstone for beautiful, inclusive, safe musical instruction, and a national leader in conversations on creative youth development. From our work with immigrant families in the early twentieth century; to our pioneering work in Music Therapy in the 1950’s; to our role in public school integration during Boston’s busing crisis in the 1970’s, CMCB’s legacy pulses through our work today. 

To continue toward an even brighter future of music-making that values all voices, we are making bold investments that help define our next hundred years:

• New and expanded programs
• A flagship learner-centered and culturally-inclusive Educational Framework, co-created with students and teachers
• Student Pathways that honor and formalize the many inspirations that bring students through our doors
• Youth employment, leadership, and economic empowerment
• The purchase and renovation of a spacious, beautiful, accessible, state-of-the-art facility – keeping our South End teaching space and expanding to a second headquarters by 2026

To support this urgent work, CMCB is raising $20 million by 2025. To learn, read our case statement below, or get in touch with our team to learn how you can help.
