Classical Youth Chamber Music Festival is a free program for band and orchestra students entering grades 8-12 in the Fall of 2025. Graduating high school seniors are also welcome to attend! CYCMF provides motivated student musicians with valuable chamber music playing experience in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at one of Rome's most beautiful performing venues, Rome Art & Community Center.

The musicians of Alliance Classical Players are all seasoned teachers, as well as performers, who love working with young people and helping them to learn and grow musically. At the festival, students rehearse and perform chamber music with an end goal of a free, public concert held outdoors on the final evening of the festival under the tent at RACC.

This program is FREE, but students MUST REGISTER by June 6th in order to attend. A link to the registration form is provided.

This project is made possible with grants from the Syracuse Sounds of Music Association and M&T Bank, and in-kind support from Rome Art & Community Center.
