Silent Auction - Final Week
You gotta bid to win!
Our annual fundraiser offers concert tickets, dining, sports, musical instruments, and other products and activities donated by local businesses. The auction provides funds for CMC to offer need-based tuition assistance and other programs to music students who otherwise would go without. Bid sheets are posted in the CMC lobby for the duration of the event. Take in a class or concert at the Center, and put in a bid for an item; there is no admission required to view or place a bid, so do it early and often - you might get a bargain!
The Silent Auction ends Sunday, May 4, after the Faculty Concert. Full info at our Silent Auction page.
