The Contemporary Musical Arts program at NEC presents the CMA Spring Ensemble Festival, a series of end-of-semester concerts featuring student ensembles from across the program.
These performances showcase the work students have developed throughout the semester in collaboration with faculty mentors and fellow performers. The festival highlights the CMA program’s wide-ranging musical approaches, including original compositions, experimental works, collaborative projects, and innovative interpretations of contemporary repertoire.
Join us for a day of bold creativity and boundary-pushing performance as CMA ensembles share the culmination of their semester’s artistic exploration.
