Our Mission

The Community Orchestra Access Coalition (COAC) is a not-for-profit grassroots organization committed to promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities within local community orchestras. Through advocacy, education, and direct action, we strive to eliminate barriers hindering individuals from engaging in and appreciating community orchestral music. Our website provides resources and assistance for musicians facing discrimination or unjust treatment, along with details about our mission and how to get in touch.

Causes

Our Initiatives

COAC supports the broader musical community through various initiatives to enhance access and inclusivity in community orchestras. Our causes include promoting diversity, providing equal access to educational resources, and advocating for fairness and equality in performer selection and promotion. Join us in making a positive impact on the orchestral community, and contact us today for support if you feel unfairly excluded from your local community orchestra!
