We even performed a little Taylor Swift, ABBA, Coldplay & Dua Lipa for our community outreach concerts!
All repertoire selected is highly vetted to ensure educational value, age/skill level appropriateness, challenging, and enjoyable.

We are proud and humbled to have the support of the Ad Astra Musical & Educational - and - Community Awareness Teams.
