Student Performances

The TimeOut/MakeMusicNY festival of public music performances is held each year throughout the city, and offers an opportunity for young performers to appear before an real audience. A participating school could arrange to have a stage set-up outdoors near the school where a chorus or music ensemble could perform in a regular program. Obviously, it takes a great deal of planning to bring your students and their families together at a particular hour on a praticular day, but the pay-off in terms of real-world experience is huge. To register or inquire about the Sunday June 21, 2009  Festival visit the MakeMusicNY site:
