At Open Mic Classical Anyone can Shine. We welcome all interested classical musicians of all levels, and ages, both singers and instrumentalists, to play short movements or pieces at our Open Mic Classical (OMC) monthly events. All you need to do is to get on our list by 2:30pm on the day of the event. We will choose 8 - 10 performers for each event. If you need a piano accompanist, please let us know couple of weeks earlier, so we can arrange for practice times. We welcome performers with disabilities, who sometimes may require an assistance dog.

 

You might wonder how do we pick our Featured Performers?

At every Open Mic Classical we also feature different guest musicians ("featured guest performers"), who get a longer spot in our program (20-30 minutes). These musicians are featured and publicized on our monthly posters, event calendars, and newsletters. This is a great way to get your name out.

​

Many times we pick guest performers because they came, and played at one of our events, and we want to give them a chance to be able to prepare, and present a longer program. This gives strong incentive to some of  the musicians, who either need help launching their careers, or they are coming back to playing after years of taking a break, or they play mostly as an orchestra or choir member, and now enjoy a different kind of musical experience.

 

At other times we invite well-known, seasoned classical musicians from local towns, or with strong ties to Cape Cod.

​

Open Mic Classical Supports its Local Musicians.

We strongly believe in supporting both our local economy, and our classical musicians, but we welcome everyone interested.
