Our end of the year concert is a special event in the beautiful Middleton Performing Arts Center. This year forward it will be a ticketed event, in line with all other youth arts organizations such as WYSO and MYC. Our $20 family ticket includes performers, immediate family and grandparents. Guests are $10 each. Kids under 12 free. Tickets will be available at the door–cash or credit card accepted. We’ll gather in the shelter at Fireman’s Park (adjacent to the PAC) to celebrate our student’s hard work. Please bring a treat or drink to share!
Come join your SSM/MCE friends on June 16th for a special event at the duck pond! This is a non-profit night benefiting Suzuki Strings, and we’ll get a portion of each ticket we sell. In addition to playing the national anthem, there will be a 50-50 raffle (also benefiting SSM), and a Suzuki Strings promo table. Click here to reserve your ticket (they are $15 apiece)–and please share widely with your friends and family! Sheet music for the Star Spangled Banner can be found here!
