Our Idea
Based on the conviction that musicians can play an important public service role, Community MusicWorks has created an opportunity for professional musicians to build and transform their own urban community.

What We Do

Through the permanent residency of its core group of professional musicians, Community MusicWorks provides free after-school education and performance programs that build meaningful long-term relationships between professional musicians, children, and families in urban neighborhoods of Providence, Rhode Island.

In 2006, Community MusicWorks successfully piloted a two-year Fellowship Program in order to share its unique model with interested musicians and urban communities from across the country. A semi-annual Institute for Musicianship and Public Service was added in 2009.
