MUSIC IN THE PARK RETURNS JOIN OUR 4TH ANNUAL SUMMER CELEBRATION!
Minnesota School of Music is excited to announce our 4th Annual Music in the Park summer concert series. We are looking forward to marking this milestone with a student recital on July 21 at Aquatore Park’s exciting new community bandshell. As leading advocates for expanding music education in Blaine, we at MnSOM are delighted to hold our concert at this new venue. This $4 million facility was just completed in time for summer festivities, and we are excited to be among the first organizations to hold an event there. The bandshell is a high- quality performance space for showcasing the results of our students’ hard work and musical skill. We also will be celebrating the 11th anniversary of our founding. MnSOM has grown from modest beginnings in 2013, when Mr. Nehring began teaching guitar lessons to children and dreaming of something bigger. We’re so proud of what we’ve achieved and of all our students have accomplished over the last 11 years. We look forward to gathering as a community. Join us at Music in the Park to celebrate our musicians and all their hard work. We’ll gather outdoors at the bandshell at Aquatore Park from 12–4 p.m. for activities, good company, and musical
performances by students and faculty.
We are planning fun for everyone, including prizes,
stickers, and frisbees for the kids. Bring your lawn chairs, sunscreen, coolers, and a picnic lunch — and enjoy watching our students perform in Blaine’s brand new bandshell!
WHEN: Sunday, July 21, 12–4 p.m. WHERE: Aquatore Park, 9191 Lincoln St. NE, Blaine, MN 55434 WHO: All MnSOM students and parents Registration is required for this event and opens Monday, June 10, 2024. A $40 fee is required.
