On Saturday, September 19, Dr. Peter Askim, Music Director of The Wilmington Symphony Orchestra, educated CFMTA members on what has shaped his past and current plans for developing the “360 degree artist”. Held at Cape Fear Community College’s Music Department, we were quite close to the Marina Grill on the river. All enjoyed its fine brunch/lunch and great comradery!

The CFMTA's annual spring meeting and luncheon was held at a member’s beautiful home overlooking a serene creek. The artwork seen above the mantle shows the scenic view observable through the rear window. The 2025-‘26 academic year proved fulfilling for all participants. Have a wonderful summer!

CFMTA’s Spring Recital, February 21, at Masonboro Baptist Church was a showcase of well-played pieces ranging from the Baroque period to the music of living composers. The program included 24 students from 10 CFMTA members’ studios. The warm, inviting atmosphere of Masonboro Baptist Church, the beautiful grand piano, and the excellent acoustics were enjoyed by our large, supportive audience.

CFMTA’s January 10th workshop featured Dr. Richard Olsen, chair of UNCW’s Communication Studies department. As a teacher, musician and father, he effectively helped attendees strategize ways to bring about students’ deeper attention and joy at lessons. Increasing parental participation in the learning journey was also a great topic.

November was an eventful month! On Saturday, the 7th, CFMTA’s Domonique Launey led members in a timely ZOOM meeting. She shared great insight on the subject: “Preparing and Polishing Pieces for Performance”.
On the 15th, the annual Playathon was held at downtown’s “Artworks” where families could enjoy browsing beautiful exhibits. A total of 73 students performed throughout the day. Because of this, our contribution to Lower Cape Fear Hospice continues to grow each year.
Cheers to all for a wonderful, musical 2026!🎶🎶🎶
