The CPS All-City Music Program is a passion-based district-wide initiative in music. The three All-City ensembles are made up of 6th through 8th grade students across Cambridge Public Schools. The ensembles convene most Thursday afternoons for rehearsals that culminate in a spring concert in the Fitzgerald Theatre at the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. If you are an upper-schooler passionate about music making, we would love to hear from you and welcome you into the program. The mission of the All-City Music Program is to create and nurture an inclusive and passion based city-wide musical community. No audition required!

A Note on Transportation to All City:
It is important to note that caregivers/families need to arrange transportation home for students after rehearsals or provide permission for them to walk. According to district policy, Cambridge Public School transportation only provides busing transportation for students at schools located more than 1.5 miles from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (VLUS and RAUC). All other participants are expected to find their own transportation or walk to CRLS. In the past, we’ve been able to allow students/caregivers to develop walking groups from school to school. Additionally, Cambridge Public Schools is not responsible for transportation home from the program."
