Piano By Request: Young Artists Music Academy Fundraiser

This event is from the archives of The Notice Board. The event has already taken place and the information contained in this post may no longer be relevant or accurate.

Join us for an evening of appetizers, drinks, dancing and live music by Anna McBryan. Bid on one of our fabulous silent auction items, including violins that have been transformed into beautiful works of art by local artists!

Proceeds from this events will go towards our Young Artist Music Academy, an intensive, enriching performance-based program available to youth in our community. It includes several activities per week that aim to expand the awareness, skills and experiences of the classical musician. We have over 30 students already in this program, and they each spend roughly 5-7 hours with us each week. Because of the intensive nature of this program, it could become very costly to our students. However, we felt very strongly that cost should not hinder a student’s ability to be part of this program, so we worked very hard to come up with a model that subsidizes the costs to the students by 70%; our Academy students only pay 30% of the total fees each year! We are very proud to say that because of these subsidies, the Young Artists Music Academy is within reach for any committed teen-aged musician in this community.

Now, as we move forward, our goal is to establish an endowment that can perpetually fund this program, allowing the fees to be as affordable as possible for these amazing young musicians…forever.
