Various chamber groups are formed and coached by Wild Roots instructors and symphony l
eaders. This collaboration helps to educate through music training and performance. In conjunction with playing for a Sunday Chamber Recital, groups will also share this same program with community members that are less likely to be able to enjoy live music. To play instrumental music as an outreach is a crucial step to helping others experience empathy and a way to create a deeper connection to our local people.
