Engagement

The Cornell Concert Series believes in musical engagements as a community building activity– as both civic engagement and ethical performance practice.

During COVID-19, we have moved our programming online to create a series of interviews with CCS performers and other musical thought-leaders.

Since September 2017, our engagement programs have brought over 1,000 Cornell campus and Ithaca community members into interactions with Cornell Concert Series artists. Generous gifts from supporters like you help keep our engagement programming going.  Click here to help out!
