For more than 30 years, the Portland Conservatory of Music (PCM) has been a cornerstone of Maine’s cultural landscape. Located in Portland’s West End, PCM is home to world-class musicians who teach, perform, and inspire students of all ages.
PCM offers private instruction, ensembles, and community programs that make high-quality music education accessible, from a child’s first lesson to an adult rediscovering their passion for music. Our free Noonday Concert Series brings nearly 20 performances a year to the public, reflecting our commitment to equity, accessibility, and community engagement.
Beyond education, PCM is a hub for performances across genres—classical, jazz, contemporary, and beyond. With a faculty of some of the region’s most accomplished musicians, we nurture talent, spark creativity, and strengthen Maine’s musical community.
