REGISTER TODAY ABOUT COMMUNITY MUSIC CENTER OF BOSTON Community Music Center of Boston (CMCB) is an arts education nonprofit founded in 1910, with a mission to transform lives by providing equitable access to excellent music education and arts experiences. Over 4,000 students participate in our programs every week. We are proud to act as the largest external provider of arts education to the Boston Public Schools, supporting rigorous, relevant, and culturally-inclusive musical instruction for one of the most diverse school districts in the nation. CMCB is an anchor for local arts education. Our greatest strength is that a student who enters our programs is entering an entire ecosystem that can support them throughout their K-12 education and beyond. CMCB leadership also plays an important role in national conversations on cultural equity and creative youth development. PROGRAMS CMCB has programs throughout virtually every neighborhood in Boston, in-school, after-school, and in the summer. With two main divisions, CMCB operates innovative Community Music School Programs at our headquarters in Boston’s South End and Community Engagement Programs with over 30 partners throughout Boston. HISTORY CMCB celebrates 110 years of answering Boston’s calls to action. From our Music Therapy work helping reintegrate soldiers home from WWII and the Korean War into civilian life, to our role bringing the arts back into public schools shortly after Boston’s violent school integration crisis in the 1970’s, CMCB’s century-long legacy positions us as an anchor at the intersection of Boston’s arts, culture, and civic life. FUTURE We are re-envisioning what community music schools teach, and how they engage with young people. At CMCB, we stand strong in a set of core values and beliefs: – to provide a combination of sequential after-school, in-school, and summer music instruction which increases student success, retention, and positive development, in both music education and academic growth, – to prioritize culturally-relevant and learner-centered teaching that fosters thriving communities, – to remain committed to equity: our longstanding value central to our legacy that animates every aspect of our work, and – to support youth to be equipped to fundamentally change the arts and culture sector for future generations.

The Road Ahead will be part of the tracks of Javier’s up-coming new album. Stay tuned for its 2021 release! The beauty of my original music has been possi- ble by the artistry, trust and generosity of my bandmates: Zak King and Scott Kiefner Javier Rosario Trio members: Javier Rosario (guitarist/composer/ arranger/ bandlead- er), Zak King (drummer), Scott Kiefner (bassist) BIO: JAVIER ROSARIO Guitar virtuoso, composer, bandleader, educator and recording artist, Javier Rosario is the first ever Michel Camilo Scholarship winner. The scholarship was an initiative of the Dominican born, Grammy, Latin Grammy and Emmy Award winning pianist. It has been the first scholarship of its kind in the history of the Dominican Republic, where Javier was born in Santo Domingo. In 2006, Javier attended Berklee College of Music with full scholarship, graduating with the highest ratings ever given to a guitarist. In 2009, he performed at the Berklee Jazz and Blues Guitar Night: a concert which only featured the very top players of the entire school. In 2010, Javier decided to further his studies at the Longy School of Music of Bard College with a master’s degree. There
