About Claremont Music Scene
Claremont Music Scene was created with a purpose of elevating our music and arts community. We provide a common place for venues, performers, educators, and fans to come together and participate. Our community events calendar is the go-to for finding out about live music events in Claremont and other music-related opportunities. Event guides help you discover seasonal events, special events and festivals, open mics, and more.
History
Claremont Music Scene began as part of a curious effort to collect information about what was generally happening with music in the area. It turned out there was quite a bit once one started poking around. Wouldn't it be nice if it were easy to discover everything in one convenient place? The Claremont Music Scene was born.
In its few year existence the Claremont Music Scene has existed in several different forms and functions. During the journey to discover our purpose, a few notable things have happened along the way:
- A booth at Village Venture with local musicians playing acoustic sets
- A handful of jam sessions
- A few open mic events
- A few get-togethers for lunch, snacks, or Steve Reich's Clapping
- Logged and archived several hundred local events into a calendar
Claremont's history includes chapters woven with musical folklore. The Folk Music Center was instrumental in making Claremont a popular destination for artists during an era. The Claremont Treasury of Music works to preserve these stories. Claremont Music Scene has a goal of supporting a vibrant music community by building on our history and by helping the next generation of story-tellers feel welcome here.
