Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Festival Concert Series
Over two weeks every summer, GLCMF presents over 20 subscription and non-subscriptions concerts, linking international artists with an array of southeast Michigan’s most respected musicians. The concerts are held in venues across Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb Counties.
Catherine Filene Shouse Chamber Music Institute
The Catherine Filene Shouse Chamber Music Institute was formed in 1997 and serve young musicians in professional development capacities. Every year, the Shouse Institute chooses three to four young ensembles that are emerging to professional status. Each group actively participates in professional development and performance opportunities, from mainstage concerts, yoga, and coachings with senior artists, to community engagement initiatives out in numerous community venues.
The Festival underwrites housing, transportation, and per diem for each group so they can focus on their art and access the resources they need to succeed. This program has helped make the Festival unique among our counterparts. We also collaborate with the Sphinx Organization to host an Apprentice Ensemble to participate in Shouse activities.
Composer-in-Residence Program
The Festival hosts a different composer in residence and young Stone Composer fellow every year. The visiting composers have their works performed by Festival artists, and oftentimes premiere a brand new work.
Vignette Concert Series
The Vignette concerts occur throughout the year, connecting past and upcoming Festival artists with local audiences in the homes of our supporters.
Audio/Visual Concerts
The "Audio/Visual" concerts occur during two-week summer Festival in an art gallery or unconventional space in Detroit. The concerts often feature multi-disciplinary art forms alongside chamber music and attract many young professionals.

- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
