Community Music Center at Chestnut Commons

Located at Chestnut Commons at 276 Chestnut Street, the Community Music Center offers students from East New York and Cypress Hills access to top-quality music education and enrichment at little or no charge. Through BKCM’s partnership with the Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation, more than 75 students from ages 1-17 currently take lessons and classes or participate in the Saturday Band Academy at the CMC. These students come from 18 different schools, and nearly half come from eight neighborhood schools where BKCM is investing in additional music programming to create a continnuum of music education in the schools and at the CMC.

Come make music with us at 276 Chestnut Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208.
