Cultural Diplomacy
Across the entire globe, Classical Movements uses the unbridled joy of music-making as a catalyst for true social transformation. With each concert tour and every music festival, we act as responsible corporate citizens, not only through the organization and implementation of our clients’ participation in cultural diplomacy, but also through our own donations, exchanges, education and service.

New Music
While performing new music is a priority for many ensembles, commissioning new music is often out of reach for non-profit groups. Thus, in 2006, Classical Movements endowed the Eric Daniel Helms New Music Program, as a means to assist our loyal clients through commissioning brand-new works—both choral and orchestral, male and female voices—while also supporting the craft of contemporary composition worldwide.
