The Willy Street Chamber Players believe firmly that the future of classical music is community-based, collaborative, welcoming, and accessible to all. The COMMUNITY CONNECT SERIES was conceived in 2016 as a way to reach more of our neighbors in inclusive spaces. Programs are tailored to suit listeners of all ages and backgrounds.

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