AHCM is dedicated to sharing its passion for classical music with children of all ages. For nearly 20 years the organization has brought exciting and engaging classical concerts and workshops to Dorchester and its surrounding communities. Put musicians and children together and magic happens!
AHCM has presented interactive performance workshops at Dorchester schools and community groups such as the Epiphany Middle School, the Codman Square Health Center, the Boys & Girls Club of Dorchester and South Boston, the Jubilee House, the Dorchester YMCA, the Metropolitan Council for Economic Opportunity program, and the Boston Home for adult patients with multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases.
