Nicole Corris is an internationally acclaimed vocalist and musician based in Weehawken, NJ. What started as a quest to find more female written material while performing in a classic rock cover band turned into a deep dive into the songs and stories of women all across the musical landscape – from opera to jazz, musical theatre to contemporary pop. This material has formed the basis of Nicole’s solo shows over the last few years, including Rock Goddess, Songbirds, and Weaving Carole’s Tapestry: The Life and Music of Carole King. She has performed around the world in regional theatres, cruise ships, and concert halls, from Carnegie Hall to Uruguay’s Teatro Solís. www.NicoleCorris.com

PERFORMATHON!

Our annual PERFORMATHON is an all-day marathon student recital fund-raiser, where students from our 600+ student body raise sponsorships for their performance. All proceeds go towards providing merit and need-based scholarships, as well as free or discounted programming for our students and our community. This Year, we were able to award over $110,000 to CMS students who otherwise may not have been able to advance their love for music. We would not be able to provide the nearly 50 free masterclasses, workshops, community events and recitals for our students and community without funds raised through Performathon!
