The mission of the Tetra Chamber Music Institute (TCMI) is to train young musicians to perform in small ensembles with excellence and channel their creative strengths to effect positive change in themselves and the community. Founded by the Tetra String Quartet, TCMI is an afterschool chamber music program, the first of its kind in Arizona. As an alternative OR addition to youth orchestra programs, TCMI focuses on each student as an individual with the goal of nurturing each participant intellectually, emotionally, and musically.

TCMI is made possible by your donations and the Arizona Commission on the Arts’s Youth Arts Engagement Grant. To help us continue making TCMI accessible for young musicians regardless of financial situation, donate at: tetraquartet.org/support
