Founded in 1983, Crowden Community Education is part of a coeducational day school for grades three to eight with chamber music at its core and was the first of its kind in the nation with this focus. The program serves roughly 8,000 individuals each year and serves more than 1,000 students aged three into adulthood each year with private lessons, group classes, chamber ensembles, and summer camps. Its mission statement is, “We believe in the power of music to change lives.” Crowden’s performance and rehearsal facilities serve as resources for local music teachers and organizations, including East Bay Music Together and Pacific Edge Voices. Crowden provides access to music education through a public school outreach program and exposes thousands of Bay Area children and adults to classical music through Community Music Day and participation in major community street festivals. Children attend Crowden concerts free of charge.
