Sharing the beauty of live classical music with people in the community since 2010.

CMFW passionately believes in the life-enhancing power of classical music — that its timeless beauty can brighten the darkest lives; its symmetry can bring order to chaos; its delicate ability to touch the soul can restore one’s faith; and its universal appeal to the senses can unite people of disparate cultures. We commit ourselves to sharing classical music for people of the world who long for beauty and inspiration in their lives. Classical Music For the World believes that artistic music, like the beauty of nature, should be available for all to enjoy, so our events are free of charge and open to everyone. Tax-deductible donations are gratefully accepted to help continue our mission.
