Dorothy H. Baker Recital Hall
at Community Music School
Join us as we celebrate the “best of the best” of CMS!
Each spring, CMS faculty recommend their highest performing students at all levels for an audition before an independent panel of judges. The three judges evaluate each student’s musical performance and determine a total audition score based on tone, technique, accuracy, interpretation, and musical effect. The students who successfully auditioned and who scored high enough to qualify to perform are included in our 2025 Gala Recital.
Among these outstanding students, several exceptionally talented students who were top rated in their auditions will receive merit-based scholarships for individual lessons in the 2025-26 school year. These scholarship awards will be presented at the conclusion of the Gala Recital. Learn more about the Gala Auditions & Recital here.
