Our Community

Have news to share?

This is where WPMA comes together — to celebrate what our students and faculty are achieving, and to welcome the people who want to be part of it.

Did your student get into their dream school, win a competition, award, or earn a spot at a summer festival? We want to hear about it! Every submission is reviewed, and we may feature it here, in our newsletter, or on our social media channels.

Recent Academy News & Achievements

The WPMA community is full of moments worth sharing — competition results, college decisions, a faculty member in the news, students who win national auditions. Here’s the latest from around the academy.

Get Involved

A performance is never just the player on stage. As WPMA performs more, we’re building a community of people who want to be near that work — not just as an audience member at a distance, but up close. This may include:

  • Concerts, recitals & events: Helping a performance run by welcoming guests, guiding performers, managing the event, etc.
  • Opening doors: Some of the most valuable help isn’t on-site at all: a venue connection, an introduction, a word to someone who should know about our academy.
  • Capturing the work: Photographers, videographers, and recordists who want to document performances and masterclasses.

We welcome volunteers who bring their own sensibility and want meaningful access to a serious musical environment. Whatever you bring, you’ll be among the first to know when something is happening.
