Hope you all are doing well as we approach this busy season! As you come to group classes on Tuesday, please wish Julio a fond farewell. He has been a steady presence at the MYArts front desk for years, and he is leaving for a full time job. We’ll miss him!

Overture Center Community Ticket Program
Suzuki Strings takes part in Overture Center’s Community Ticket program. The Community Ticket Program helps ensure that all people, regardless of economic ability, have access to the performing arts. Through partnerships with more than 100 local social services organizations, the program reaches families throughout Dane County that are able to receive tickets for $3, and Broadway shows are $4.25. Occasionally we will be offered tickets for certain shows, and I’ll post them here. The promo code for the concerts is SUZUKI.
