CMC has 15 tuition-free neighborhood choirs that have grown out of collaborations between Community Music Center and senior/neighborhood centers around the City to provide the many personal, social, artistic, and quality of life benefits that musical activity can bring to older adults. The CMC Richmond District Choir meets weekly for rehearsals at the Richmond Neighborhood Center and sing at various community events. Community Music Center is a non-profit institution in its one-hundred-and-third year of making high-quality music accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities, regardless of financial means. With campuses in the Mission and Richmond neighborhoods of San Francisco, CMC students come from every neighborhood to learn and make beautiful music!
