Today’s the big day!!! So much hard work and passion goes into these recital performances. We have many original compositions to share and some of the students have been working on their song since last fall. It’s truly a labor of love and we are excited to perform them for you!

Huge thank you to for again hosting and sharing their Sunday with us. Please make sure to thank them and tip generously!

Just a reminder, doors open at 4:30, music starts at 5pm. Please do not arrive earlier than 4:30 because the staff needs time to setup and prepare for our large crowd.

See you soon! - micky
