The Cali School Spring “Signature Series” Connects Local Audiences with Classical Music Stars
The Cali School of Music is building on the success of the “quartet” of new student-centered performances this fall with four more outstanding performances featuring world-recognized musical artists this spring. Please join us for an exciting and exclusive selection of symphonic, chamber and jazz concerts showcasing the exceptional talents from the award-winning music school of Montclair State University.
The caliber of students and performances coming out of the Cali School is one of the best kept secrets in the New York City region. We want local residents to discover this hidden gem and enjoy the genius that’s blooming right in their backyards.—DANIEL GURSKIS, COLLEGE OF ARTS DEAN
