Chamber Music Wilmington works in partnership with cultural and educational organizations to support young artists, develop audiences and bring enriching programs to the community. CMW hosts master classes for local middle and high school students, led by the stellar musicians prior to their Sunday evening concerts. These classes are free to participate in and to attend. Classes are held at the WHQR MC Erny gallery.
Baroque band ACRONYM—an "outstanding young early-music string ensemble" (The New Yorker)—is dedicated to giving modern premieres of the wild instrumental music of the seventeenth century. Playing with “...consummate style, grace, and unity of spirit” (The New York Times), the group formed in 2012 and has released eight critically acclaimed CDs since 2014. Recent projects include the first modern performances and recordings of works by Biber and Rosenmüller, and Samuel Capricornus's epic cantata cycle Jubilus Bernhardi with the Bach Choir of Holy Trinity. Forthcoming albums include the premiere recording of Johann Heinrich Schmelzer’s forgotten oratorio Le Memorie Dolorose alongside the early music ensemble TENET Vocal Artists.
