Chamber Music Concert
at Copper Canyon Academy

For several years, CCA has had the honor of hosting chamber music concerts under the auspices of Chamber Music Sedona (CMS). CMS sponsors artists-in-residence concerts for youth in selected local schools. In January 2014 CMS returned, this time with five young musicians, all of whom were current or former members of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. The entire CCA community attended the concert. Students appreciated the opportunity to be exposed to first-rate classical musicianship, and to interact closely with the performers. The musicians took time between pieces to tell their stories to the students, and to discuss and demonstrate some aspects of their craft. Copper Canyon has long enjoyed a close relationship with CMS, and in fact it was a CMS member who, in recognition of CCA's work, donated to the school our beloved 1934 Baldwin baby grand piano.

CCA features a compelling fine arts program that is an integral component of its academic curriculum. In addition to being a venue for chamber music concerts, CCA provides other fine arts opportunities to its students, including:

• Core classes offered every semester in dance, choir, drama, and visual arts;
• Regular participation at National Portfolio Day, a college fair for prospective art students;
• CCA choir performing frequently in the local community;
• Performances by students from CCA's Shakespeare class regularly competing at the Utah Shakespeare Festival;
• Our dancers joining with community groups performing in local dance showcases.
