Music in Our Schools Month
by Kim Batorski-Davis, Education and Community Engagement Manager
Happy March from the Symphony’s Education Office! Each year in March, schools across the nation celebrate Music in Our Schools Month (MIOSM®). Led by the National Association for Music Education, the event is designed to raise national awareness of the important need and benefits of quality music education for all children.
This March, The Phoenix Symphony is doing all we can to come alongside our schools and community organizations to celebrate MIOSM and bring the joy of music to Valley students of all ages. During the week of March 24th – 31st, the symphony’s education ensembles will perform over a dozen concerts around the Valley that are FREE to the public with something for every age group. Our Brass & Percussion Ensemble and Chamber Strings Ensemble will be out in full force all over the Valley!
