The CSMA is a voluntary charitable organisation run by teachers, headteachers, peripatetic music teachers and staff from CMA. The aim of the association is to support music making in the borough by providing musical opportunities for children to sing in a large choir and to provide opportunities for children to listen to live orchestral music.

We provide an annual two day Festival of Music for children in Key Stages 1 & 2 both mainstream and in special education within the borough of Croydon.

The Festival usually takes place in the Spring term and is held at The Fairfield Halls, featuring an Infant Choir night and a Junior Choir night, with additional musical contributions from local schools and CMA ensembles.

At Christmas, we will provide a festive celebration concert held at Fairfield Halls. This is a perfect opportunity to bring your classes to experience live music in one of the UK’s best concert halls, and hear a diverse range of musical instruments and genres. All presented in a fun way with our comperes.
