Each spring, MAC presents the Cape May Music Festival, a four-week music series featuring the residency of the New York Chamber Ensemble and the Bay-Atlantic Symphony. During the school year, MAC also presents an educational outreach program in conjunction with the Festival.
During the 2008-2009 school year, composer Eliot Bailen will be visiting schools, working with students to create a “Songs to Symphony” programs. Students will create a story and then write lyrics and music. The piece will be performed May 27, 2009 at the Lower Cape May Regional High School Paul Schmidtchen Auditorium for student audiences. A professional development program will be offered for teachers October 21, 2008.
