Education and Outreach

Education and outreach are a vital part of the mission of Quogue Chamber Music. For the past several years, we have sponsored performances by chamber music groups at local elementary schools in Quogue, East Quogue and Hampton Bays. The program has introduced hundreds of students at these schools to high-quality, live classical music. In Hampton Bays, the musicians have worked directly with the music teacher to develop programs that illustrate the concepts being taught in class. The children always have lots of questions for the performers — both about their instruments and about how they became professional musicians.

This year, Quogue Chamber Music sponsored 4 days of music outreach programs—over two days in Hampton Bays Elementary School, one at the Pulaski St. School in Riverhead, and one day at the Quogue Elementary School. The Cecilia Trio (French horn, violin, piano) designed a program around the theme of “A Musical Sense of Place,” and adapted the program each time for the age groups in the audience. Over 550 children attended one of these programs. Their teachers told us, “These children wouldn’t otherwise have an opportunity to meet musicians like these and hear a performance like this.”


In addition to support from our generous donors in the community, the outreach programs by Quogue Chamber Music have been supported in 2020, 2022, and again in 2024 by grants made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by The Huntington Arts Council, Inc.
