Classical Uprising welcomes people of all abilities to our performances and programs. Classical Uprising presents  in multiple  platforms and in various  venues in the Greater Portland area and Brunswick. We prioritize ADA-compliancy and universal access when choosing venues. We  all deserve access, and all have different needs.
