“The pittsburgh music alliance: pma is a marketing collaboration of five small non-profit arts organizations, namely chamber music pittsburgh, the bach choir of pittsburgh, pittsburgh camerata, renaissance and baroque, and chamber baroque. Cmp serves as the fiscal agent for the collaboration. Pma works to expand the audience base of each individual organization, to increase the visibility of all five organizations throughout the city and to encourage discussing the arts in the pittsburgh community. By participating in pma, each organization has access to more extensive marketing potential than they would otherwise be able to. Other collaborative concerts: cmp co-presented two collaborative concerts in the 2014 season. The first concert was a collaboration with chatham baroque, and the second concert was a collaboration with the pittsburgh symphony orchestra. Both concerts allowed cmp to tap into new audiences, and to share creative ideas, and marketing through these joint concerts.”
