Are you working on a new tune, perfecting a cover, or just looking for a fun way to share your music? Then mark your calendar for CMC’s first-ever Open Mic Night! This is your chance to perform on stage, meet other musicians in the community, and enjoy a night of creativity and collaboration. Whether your piece is original, a work-in-progress, or part of a mini jam, the mic is yours!
All musical styles and skill levels are welcome: from solo vocalists to bands, chamber ensembles to rock & roll groups. Open to CMC students, faculty, and local community musicians, this event is designed to be low-pressure, inclusive, and supportive.
Hosted by Shannon Koehler, Operations Director, and Luna Fuentes, Concert Hall Manager, the evening promises great music, beverages, and a welcoming atmosphere.
“We’re so excited to welcome musicians of all ages and all genres to come and share the tunes that are flowing through them. You can jam, play half a song, play a cover, do an original, whatever your heart desires! All are invited to hang and let it rip.”— Shannon Koehler, Operations Director
