“At the Museum of Making Music, we have the great benefit of having a wealth of music history and access to a vast array of instruments. Through the Joli Ann Leichtag Elementary School partnership, we are able to share all of this with students through overseeing projects, providing an inspiring teacher, and giving students access to our instrument collections,” said Carolyn Grant, executive director at the Museum of Making Music. “This benefit concert will allow us to continue giving back to students in every way possible and introduce a new generation to the joy of music.”
