Cincinnati Musical Festival Assoc

This mobile early learning program is designed to awaken and develop each child's sense of self and connection to the world around them through song. May festival minis is an inclusive and accessible program that serves preschool children of all abilities through free developmentally appropriate, music-centric lessons provided in their preschool environments. Minis served over 3,000 preschoolers in the cincinnati region through partnerships with cincinnati children's hospital, cincinnati public libraries, and headstart preschool.

The may festival chamber chorus, an auditioned subset of the complete may festival chorus, appears periodically in free, hour-long concerts outside of the downtown cincinnati area to reach new listeners in new neighborhoods. This audience development initiative often features members of the may festival youth chorus in performance and is presented in partnership with community churches. These concerts took place in cincinnati neighborhoods montgomery (st. Barnabas episcopal church) and westwood (first presbyterian church), as well as in downton dayton, oh (first baptist church). Each concert served approximately 200 audience members.
