The Willy Street Chamber Players believe firmly that the future of classical music is community-based, collaborative, welcoming, and accessible to all. Community Connect concerts have become among the most near and dear to our hearts. All CC events are family-friendly, educational, and presented in inclusive spaces.

Admission to COMMUNITY CONNECT events is always completely free of charge thanks to the generous support of our sponsors.​
