Community School of Music and Arts invites you to join us for a special live-stream Benefit Concert on Saturday, June 13, 5PM PST, featuring world-renowned jazz musician and CSMA alumni Taylor Eigsti on solo piano from New York City. This free and interactive event will include Taylor’s favorite songs as well as an exclusive preview from his new album, “Tree Falls.”
While our campus is closed during the Covid-19 pandemic, CSMA continues to provide access to music and arts for all by adapting its programs, working with schools via distance learning and students directly with online classes and private lessons. Financial aid and subsidies for our schools are more important than ever in the face of personal and institutional challenges. Please join us for this concert to support CSMA during this unprecedented time.
