Building Expansion Updates

February 4, 2025—We’re excited to share that after a decade of planning and preparation, the expansion of our beautiful “Home for Music” is about to begin! This expansion, encompassing both a new performance hall and additions to our teaching space, will allow us to enhance our offerings and create a more inclusive, vibrant environment for music lovers of all ages for generations to come. This is even more exciting because the expansion aligns so closely with our mission to provide outstanding, accessible music education and programming to all.

What comes next?

Over the next few weeks, you may begin to see more activity at WCMS related to this project. Construction is anticipated to begin in late February and to take around a year and a half. Next week, you will receive a follow-up communication with more details about what to expect in the coming weeks. Throughout this project, we have two top priorities: 1) Minimizing impact to school operations as much as possible, and 2) Maximizing safety at all times. Next week’s communication will also contain some important details and updates about how WCMS will be prioritizing safety every step of the way.

Where can I find out more?   

WCMS is committed to keeping the WCMS community and our neighbors updated about what to expect throughout the project. Starting next week, members of our community will receive regular email communications with updates about what’s coming up and what to expect. And of course, we hope you will feel free to reach out at any time if you have questions or concerns.
