The vision for CAM became a tangible reality in 2003 by Eunjoo Yun through the generosity of Charles Fox of Fox Music House, with the kind donation of work space and instruments and the support and guidance of Enrique Graf, professor of piano & Artist in Residence at the College of Charleston, as well as the Founder and Artistic Director of the International Piano Series at the College of Charleston.
Since 2003, CAM has developed a variety of programs to meet the needs of both students and parents such our Academy Program, Satellite Programs, Honors Program, Orchestra Program, and Music Café. Through the Honors Program, we were able to begin our Kidzymphony Orchestra Program last year at Meeting Street Academy. The program is inspired by Venezuela’s El Sistema, whish is considered by many to be the most successful music education project in the world. Through Kidzymphony, we have been able to reach those children who do not have the opportunity to come in contact with classical music. Our students are ambassadors; they will keep our mission alive and create many more such orchestra programs throughout the world.
