EDUCATION
Chamber Music Amici aims to help create a new generation of chamber music lovers. The Education Committee of the Board of Directors works with our Education Sponsors and with public schools in Springfield and Eugene to offer students vouchers for steeply discounted tickets to our concerts. We also bring concert previews to public schools.
