A Brief History:
Originally called the “Concerts at St. Mary’s Chamber Series” from 2013 - 2016, CASM rebranded in 2017 as “The Chamber Artists of Southeast Michigan” performance collective with a mission that aims to serve the Downriver Michigan area by bringing together the highest caliber Michigan made classical musicians to present intimate live concerts, offer educational and scholarship opportunities, and to commission and perform new works of music specifically by composers from or trained in the fabulous state of Michigan. As of 2024, CASM has helped to bring 18 new works into the world and we are actively commissioning for the Dynamic Duo's (CASM's resident chamber ensemble) first album scheduled to be released in the Summer of 2026.
In order to better execute our mission, in 2017 CASM partnered with the Downriver Council for the Arts in Wyandotte, MI to secure a summer home where we present our three concert summer season in a space surrounded by local artists' work. In the summer of 2019 CASM held its first annual Summer Scholarship award. The Summer Study Scholarships will resume in 2025 and will offer two awards of $250 to Downriver area high schoolers (including graduating seniors).
CASM expects to continue our educational mission by presenting and expanding our educational programs in the coming seasons. We look forward to a bright future filled with music making, communal bonding, and bringing joy, love, and togetherness through the celebration of Michigan pride.
