Since 1925, CMS has enriched the St. Louis community through outstanding programs, and this summer is no exception.

Older children and teens can participate in enriching camps like String Orchestra Camp, Chamber Music Encounter, Band Camp, Flute Camp, Saxophone Camp, and Summer Composition Intensive. New for this year: Clarinet Intensive.
