CAMEO Arts Foundation

What we do:
CAF organizes and underwrites Benefit Concerts, so that communities have access to high quality, affordable live music, and organizations that work to meet basic human needs re-ceive much-needed support. Why it’s important:
Music is a language of feelings, and live music can be a powerful, transformative experience. Our concerts support the arts economy of Vermont and New Hampshire, by compensating musicians for a portion of their time and effort and by providing a variety of live music experiences in many small and scattered communities. Through our Benefit Concerts, we generate resources for organizations that support the most vulnerable in our society; and we give our venue partners more opportunities to be utilized by the wider community and recognized as the local treasures they are. Other initiatives:
CAF’s in-house ensemble, CAMEO Baroque, specializes in music of the Baroque era performed on modern copies of original instruments. In addition to participating in the Benefit Concerts program, CAMEO Baroque is also available to do enrichment programs in schools (especially in those districts that do not have large budgets for arts and music).
