LICM works closely with its community partners to create concert programs that are relevant and compelling to audiences. Each concert showcases a variety of instrumentations drawing from LICM’s artist roster of over 20 professional musicians. LICM is strongly committed to programming works and featuring musicians from historically underrepresented communities in the classical music field. \nLICM provides a variety of highly interactive educational concerts and residencies in schools\, libraries\, and community centers that focus on fostering a love and understanding of classical music for all ages. \nLICM musicians are all drawn from Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect\, the New York Philharmonic\, Boston Symphony Orchestra\, Astral Artists\, Concert Artist Guild and several other of the country’s most prominent musical institutions. In addition to being leaders in their art form\, LICM musicians are teaching artists\, entrepreneurs\, and socially-minded advocates for classical music.   \nLong Island Chamber Music is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
