“Becoming part of the CAG community in various capacities since the 90’s allowed me to surround myself with the universal language of music served up by insanely-talented young players.

It has been thrilling to support CAG’s hallmark identification and encouragement of these musicians as they fearlessly incorporate classical training with contemporary idioms, introducing a world-wide diversity of timbres, instruments, solo and ensemble playing. The organization secures indissoluble personal and artistic bonds from which we all profit.”

— Denise Dailey, Author and Former CAG Board Chair

“I really believe in what CAG does. It is not unusual to be a talented musician, but it is practically impossible to exhibit that talent. CAG helps open opportunities for emerging talent to thrive.” 

— Lilian Leong, President, Boffi USA
