Join us for a dazzling evening of music and celebration of CMC’s mission to provide music for everyone. All proceeds support CMC’s mission to make high-quality music education accessible to all people, regardless of financial means.

This year, we will present CMC’s annual Gertrude Field Community Impact Award to three champions of music education: Jake Heggie, the world-renowned composer and dear friend of CMC; Catharine Kalin, CMC’s longest-serving board member; and Rebeca Mauleón, Latin jazz pianist, composer, educator, and visionary.

Enjoy cocktails and fine dining with exceptional music, featuring Tiffany Austin, Sasha Cooke, CMC faculty and students, and more. Dance the night away at a jubilant afterparty with music by “San Francisco’s First Family of Song,” The Curtis Family C-notes!
