ANNOUNCING OUR NEW OUTREACH SERIES CONCERT AND COMMUNITY
In the past, our school has focused on big, semi-annual concerts to let our students strut their stuff. While these large, formal concerts are a ton of fun and give our star pupils the valuable experience of performing in front of a large audience, we know that these events aren’t for everyone.

If you have any interest in involving your student in this meaningful program, please reach out to us. Our teachers will be keeping an eye out for good candidates as well.
